Russ Harris es un médico, psicoterapeuta y divulgador australiano reconocido internacionalmente por su trabajo en la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT, por sus siglas en inglés). Tras ejercer la medicina general, orientó gran parte de su carrera a la salud mental, desarrollando materiales de formación para profesionales y libros dirigidos al público general. Su obra más conocida, The Happiness Trap, se convirtió en un referente dentro de la psicología contemporánea al cuestionar la idea de que la felicidad constante debe ser el objetivo principal de la vida, proponiendo en cambio una relación más flexible y saludable con los pensamientos y las emociones.

La escritura de Harris destaca por traducir conceptos psicológicos complejos en herramientas prácticas y fáciles de aplicar. A través de ejemplos cotidianos y ejercicios concretos, ha contribuido a difundir la ACT en numerosos países y contextos clínicos. Además de The Happiness Trap, ha publicado obras dedicadas al manejo de la ansiedad, el estrés y la resiliencia emocional. Su enfoque pone el acento en la atención plena, la aceptación y la acción guiada por valores personales, ofreciendo estrategias que buscan mejorar la calidad de vida sin prometer fórmulas mágicas ni soluciones instantáneas.
