A good book gets your attention. A great book engages you on many levels. This is a great book! Chris engages the reader by allowing you to approach the subject from your own personal lens. If you want to follow an intriguing and very personal journey, then this is a great read.

He also does a great job laying out what it takes to make your own happiness.
