Riassunto

A master class for every Gen Z and Millennial to Find Happy in a dizzying world

Almost everyone looks back on their youth and thinks, “I wish I knew then what I know now.…” This is a book for young adults who want to know right now what it is so many wish they had known back then. What is happy, anyway? Where do you find it?

Finding Happy is for young adults starting their adult journey, and for those well into theirs who have not yet sighted land.

It is written by a master storyteller who learned to scale walls and blew them up rather than be stopped, and who learned in the process that our happiness flows from leaving the world a better place than we found it. Ultimately, it’s about how best to channel this glorious life we are each privileged to enjoy and to make it truly happy.

Finding Happy is filled with gripping adventures and misadventures that demonstrate just how possible the seemingly impossible often is, from daredevil filmmaking in Africa and Asia to making daunting rules work for you, to earning a full college scholarship after being completely unable to answer the entrance exam essay question…to climbing down a hundred-foot pipe shaft at 3 a.m. to rescue a kitten, with no plan for how to climb back up.

It is about how best to seize the day, which risks are brave and which foolish, about roadblocks and solutions, learning from leaders and finding your own secret sauce. Samuelson explains how to find your compass and persuade others to help you. He shows how to live your passion, make a living, take off your mask, build your best place in the universe, and find your own unique and personal Happy.

Educated at Cambridge University on scholarship and the Anderson School of Management at UCLA, Peter lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Saryl, and continues to fight every day for those less fortunate, chief among them abused and neglected children. He really did nearly die trying to rescue a kitten. And the kitten got away.
