Publisher's Summary

Discover how to embrace the gifts of the present and let go of the weights of the past with moments from author Moses T. Alexander Greene and his fight toward defining and redefining happiness. In this insightful book, Moses T. Alexander Greene examines a question asked by one of his former college scholars: "Professor, when will you know when you are happy?" 

Writing from his own experience, Greene covers 35 lessons of wisdom, discovery, self-care, learning how to live in the present, and why he believes no one (including you) looks like what they have been through. With the grace of God, these topics and more helped him understand why happiness often eluded him. He shares: 

  • How his grandfather, the late Harvey Gorham, taught him how to recover from mistakes and failures
  • From whom he learned that putting himself first was an act of love, not selfishness
  • Why it took an injury that temporarily left him incapacitated to realize that pain was often the only indicator that he had pushed himself too far
  • How waiting one night before making a reckless decision could have saved him years of regret

Greene has written this book for one reason: Happiness is worth (re)defining for yourself and then fighting for! If you are ready to take responsibility for your life and experience happiness permeating your inner being and outward realities, this book is for you.
