Hector And the Search For Happiness by Francois Lelord

This Book was lent to me by my friend CK.
It is written by a psychiatrist. I highly recommend it.
If you make the time to read this, then do not go any further on this post as I am about to offer up the "CliffsNotes" version of it.

Be Inspired.
