Features: The most valuable aspect of this book lies in encouraging readers to pursue what they love, discover their own potential, learn to find joy in monotonous life or work, and experience the happiness of life. It also teaches readers how to face unexpected disasters with the right mindset, how to seek inner peace, and explains the thoughts of happy people as well as how failures fail. The book is filled with profound yet practical, interesting yet wise life philosophies that will inspire everyone. This book has been adopted by many organizations worldwide as training material and reference books—from the U.S. Navy to the Australian Taxation Office, from prisons to internet marketing organizations, and including hospitals and insurance companies, such as Shell, McDonald's, Kodak, and many banks. Everyone in life is your teacher, even those who drive you crazy—because from them, you can gauge your own level. Of course, even if they are your teachers, no one says you have to like them. In this book, the author shares his life experiences and feelings, accompanied by his own comic illustrations, to show readers how to find happiness in life and work. In his hands, those wavy lines turn into joyful words, leaping over problems with sheer fun. When you read the humorous parts, you can't help but burst into laughter. You can feel the author's joy in creation throughout the book, and that joy can infect every reader. As the author writes in the book: "I feel very happy because what I do affects some people's lives. I am not seeking praise from others—I am just reminding them of what they already know—the place where happiness lies."
