Review:
Simple Happiness is a magical and touching combination of logic, awareness and spirit. Ryan inspires us with his charisma, uplifting messages and thought provoking anecdotes. --William Sinunu, Author of Life Could Be Sweeter
[Jim] you have surpassed Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale and even Wayne Dyer in one very important aspect. It is your voice. While reading [Simple Happiness] I heard you taking to me. There was no bombast, no pedantic style, just a friend sharing with another friend some profound secrets he has discovered and now wants to pass on with enthusiasm. It was as if you were on a chair next to me telling me some great strategies that have worked for you. --Fred Chernow, Author of The Sharper Mind
I was moved by the simplicity of your insights. I keep a copy in my office and refer to it often. I always find something to help ease the daily stress of my work. I have purchased and distributed copies to my top managers and executives. I give it my highest recommendation. --Chintu Patel, CEO, Amneal Pharmaceuticals
