## Description

At the end of a holiday in Bali, Julian, an unhappy schoolteacher, decides to visit a renowned local healer, Samtyang, in search of guidance. During daily sessions at the wise man's house, Julian begins to identify the source of his unhappiness through a series of simple questions and answers that point to his own limiting beliefs and fears. Day after day, their dialogue is punctuated by real-life situations and challenges that Julian is asked to experience on the island's mainland and its surroundings. As his journey unfolds, Julian begins to understand how he can make his dreams become a reality and find his very own way to true happiness. From international bestselling author Laurent Gounelle, The Man Who Wanted to be Happy explores the world of new possibilities that opens up to us when we discover how to break free of what prevents us from living a life full of joy.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very useful
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 August 2013*

I found this book very useful as it was like looking at a mirror and it gave answers to questions about happiness and I've applied them in my life and it has made a significant difference to my level of happiness. A good book to read after this is the Dalia Lama's cat as it it provides further insight. The book is written in fictional narrative but the pearls of wisdom underlying this story are true and real, thank you for a good book.

I really enjoyed this little gem of a book. It was gifted to me by a friend who just knew I would love the storytelling / philosophical style. I do enjoy books like this, where life lessons are explored through conversations and situations. It really made me want to meet the wise old man myself!
