Description

Shortlisted for the Selfies Book Awards UK.

Filled with engaging tales of a troubled childhood, a challenging career, adult love and heartbreak, global adventures, cosmic coincidences and many other extraordinary events, Happy as Larry skilfully blends narrative and reflection into a remarkable tapestry, the journey towards wisdom and spiritual maturity of a man determined - through his persistent search for mental health, wellbeing and wholeness - not only to cure his own ills, but also to unravel the mysteries of emotional healing that lead others dependably to personal growth, joy, contentment and love. If you are unhappy with today's secular society, concerned about where we all seem to be heading, disenchanted with traditional religious teachings and practices, feeling a need to go beyond the superficiality of everyday life, eager to discover meaning and a renewed sense of purpose, this enjoyably thought-provoking memoir is tailor-made to engage and benefit readers like you.

'Highly recommended... A milestone in human self-understanding'. Anthony Seldon

'This is a wonderful book. Kenneth Wilson A beacon of hope'. Philip Sykes

Overall, Happy as Larry is an inspiring and emotionally rich book that combines psychiatry, spirituality and personal reflection in a meaningful way. This book really makes readers rethink mental health, encouraging them to look deeper and discover the route to genuine well-being. The book offers hope that, through compassion, mindfulness, forgiveness and self-awareness, true wisdom and maturity can come, allowing us to find peace and growth, leading to inner harmony.

'Rooted in our shared humanity and a deep conviction in the oneness of all people in their desire for happiness and freedom from suffering'. - Dalai Lama
