I see myself in so much of this book. My hope is that you will see yourself, too. Not just the person you’ve been, but the truly happier person you’ve been, but the truly happier person you can become. As I follow the principles that Arthur presents, I am becoming happier. I’m actually having fun, too- a word that previously didn’t exist in my vocabulary. And what I know for sure is that happiness multiplies when we share it. May this book serve as a reminder to embrace and share yours.”
