Boy, great timing. I just received a Borders gift card for my birthday and hadn't yet decided what book to buy. Thanks so much for this great recommendation - I'm looking forward to delving in!

Hi Nick,

Great to hear from you! And congratulations to you! That's awesome. Stay in touch, Nick. I know you'll find The Law of the Garbage Truck helpful to you, too.

All the best,

David

I am an artist at heart... and have been working as an Engineer for all my life since I graduated from College. I am now 58. I got laid off from my job and am trying to convince myself that I can start something new and develop my art career. Maybe... just maybe I don't need to go back as an Engineer. The bad thing here is that I make a lot of money as an engineer and is hard to give up that money for little money in Art.

Thanks David. Gretchen does serve as a great example and you're right it is difficult...but that is also part of the happiness formula: to grow or growth. And to grow means to do uncomfortable things.In the process of reading Gretchen's book, and a number of interviews I've had the pleasure of listening to... I finally decided I had to make that decision to change. Gulp!

Big hugs,

Thanks David for recommending this book. Having just finished finals and getting ready to "read for pleasure" this summer, I'm looking forward to adding Gretchen's book to my reading list! Ned and I know how honoring your call can be such a blessing! Can't wait to read her story!

Congrats, Chris, on finishing exams! Whew! And you're right, changing a life path is not easy...but worth doing!

Enjoy Gretchen's books...maybe you'll be a lawyer & writer, too.

Best to you,
djp

Chris

As a current law student (just finished first-year exams yesterday!) I can understand how tough it must have been for her to change her path. I'm looking forward to taking a look at her books. Thanks again David. I always enjoy your recommendations.

Hi Anne,

Great to hear from you. You'll find Gretchen's book very helpful. Most importantly, you'll see how you can create your own Happiness Project.

All the best,

It's great to know that you recommended a book I just picked up, "The Happiness Project." Gretchen is quite accomplished in so many different areas. The post was great. Thanks David
