Survival Guide to Happiness

Believe in Yourself. Love, Happiness, and Success are Waiting!


This is a simple book written in everyday language, and I used as few words as possible so as not to distract from the value of the words I did use. I am not trained in the science of Psychology, nor do I aspire to be a talk show host who solves everyone’s troubles in one hour. So, what makes me qualified to write a book about happiness and other related topics? Let me explain.

I refer to this book as my pocket guide to life and although I am a professional pilot, trained in aeronautical sciences, I have spent my entire life working with crewmembers, passengers, and people in an environment that brings out the best, and the worst, in people. It has been said that pilots are paid for those few moments of absolute terror when everything goes wrong in the airplane, and this is true to a degree, but the real truth is that as the Captain your job is to deal with people and keep things moving on schedule. I have spent a lot of time in airport terminals just watching people, listening to opinions, dealing with passengers anxiety, and as a result of that experience, gained over forty years, I have been able to identify common threads associated with most problems.

Use my book as a reference in your daily life, digest the main points of each chapter, and then change your life based on your needs, and your personality. You are a winner, you are in control of the outcome of each day of your life, and you are never too old to change. You can’t dream your life away so find your passion in life and then, and only then, will you understand the meaning of life, love and, commitment.

Remember, today is yesterday’s tomorrow.
