The Happiness Triangle

Let go of the past. Find inspiration. Deal with loss. And, ultimately, live a happy, blissful life. "Just like Coelho's The Alchemist, only with a magical love story." In Erasmus Cromwell-Smith's magical, modern-day literary tale, an ailing professor journeys into his past to reveal a world ensconced in stories and poetry, with the hope of imparting inspirational, lifelong lessons. From his crumpled aesthetic of a tweed jacket or cardigan to his thick British accent, Professor Erasmus Cromwell-Smith is the embodiment of the prestigious New England scholastic institute where he teaches. But at 64, with a sudden diagnosis of incurable brain cancer, he decides to focus his intentions on living each day to the fullest and to share a lifetime of wisdom that he's treasured throughout the years. Through an unfolding of conversation, free-verse poetry, and letters, the mentors' tutelage is revealed. Over 30 thought-provoking poems and reflections are woven throughout, addressing such concepts as: ¿ The Power of Hope and how it triumphs over tragedy ¿ True Love and how it trumps hardship and pain ¿ The Happiness Formula ¿ The healing power of Poetry and Art ¿ The importance of the small details in life ¿ How to live an Inspired Life ¿ The Bystander Effect and how to be an active participant ¿ What a Life Wizard is ¿ How to win in life and find where life's magic resides... In "The Happiness Triangle", you will find hope and inspiration, as well as wisdom and magical surprises. "The Happiness Triangle is an emotional and intellectual rollercoaster right through parts of the life of the main character - a college professor. The professor incorporates free-verse poetry and narratives in the the storyline to produce a spell-binding and brilliant dissertation. The best book and most wonderful in the last five years."
