I met Dr. Jackson at the Mountain Plains Booksellers Trade Association Fall meetings in Denver. I found the title and the man intriguing and wanted to know more of the details of his life story.
From the opening pages of this book, the author pulled me into his personal search for happiness and joy. It was not found in chasing success or money. Instead Dr. Jackson discovered the joy in a life of service to others. And his success came from this discovery and the founding of Project C.U.R.E. which is impacting the world in an amazing and unique way.
I found the writing compelling for THE HAPPIEST MAN IN THE WORLD and highly recommend this book. The life lessons it contains will make this book invaluable for every reader.
