Book Description

Forget what you think you know about success and make your own happiness. Dr. Bob Tobin lived what looked like a great life in Southern California: he had a house by the beach, a good consulting practice, and a BMW. But he wasn't truly happy. Work didn't really work for him. After losing a job, going on a life-changing trip, and gaining a major change in perspective, Bob relocated to Japan, where his career path changed in ways he had never predicted and he finally found personal satisfaction, success, and happiness. But how did he do it? And how can you do it? Many of us are dissatisfied with our lives but don't make happiness a priority.
