Think with Russ Harris's tools

12 Stations through Harris's two books, from dropping the fight with feelings to acting on your values with fear present, ending in a practice you write yourself.

We connect The Happiness Trap and The Confidence Gap as one practice: stop fighting feelings, unhook from thoughts, make room, come back to the present, then choose values and act on them before you feel ready. This is an educational road, not therapy. The order is a teaching order designed by BookYol, not the author's own.

The BookYol LetterTwo letters a week

For the road

The road is daily. The letter is weekly.

While you walk Think with Russ Harris's tools, two letters a week widen the view: a big idea on Tuesday and a small experiment on Friday, drawn from the same shelf of books.

Tuesday

The Big Idea

One idea that challenges an assumption, explained properly, with its source.

Friday

The Small Experiment

One small thing to try before Monday, so the idea becomes something you do.
