Find Happy in a dizzying  world

Almost everyone looks back on their youth and thinks, “I wish I knew then what I know now.…” Finding Happy is for anyone who wants to know right now what so many wish they had known back then. It is written by a highly accomplished producer, philanthropist and master storyteller who learned how to scale walls rather than be stopped by them, and in the process learned what happy is, and where to find it.

Finding Happy is filled with gripping adventures and misadventures that demonstrate just how possible the seemingly impossible often is, from daredevil filmmaking in Africa and Asia to making rules work for you, to earning a full college scholarship after being completely unable to answer the entrance exam essay question… to climbing down a hundred-foot pipe shaft at 3 a.m. to rescue a kitten, with no plan for how to climb back up. It is about how best to seize the day, when risks are brave and when foolish, about roadblocks and solutions, learning from leaders and finding your own secret sauce. 

Perfect for young adults starting their adult journey, as well as those well into theirs who have not yet sighted land, Finding Happy offers true, lived wisdom that will inspire readers to find their own unique and personal Happy.
