Get ready to live a happier life!

Who doesn’t want to be a better lover, parent, leader, son, daughter, friend, or partner? Drone app inventor Alex Bäcker, Ph.D. set out to write a life’s-best-practices book for his adult children in case he didn’t survive his planned expedition to Africa. Famous publishers and business coaches recommended Bäcker publish the book — not only for his children, but for the rest of the world.

And he did.

Read this straight through. Cheered me up no end. Easy to read and to the point. Short bullet points on many ways to have a happy life. Best of all is the addition of the cartoons. Maybe I have been married too long but saw the husband in many of the cartoons and had a good laugh.

This book is a treasure trove of hard-earned wisdom in bite sized morsels. If you were to live its precepts and principles, you will end up living a happier and much more fulfilling life.

Alex Bäcker says in one perfect phrase things that others take 18 pages to say. It reads very fast. It’s well written. Short but funny, profound, it has 1,000 lessons. It’s beautiful. To be enjoyed.

The genesis for this book was to impart some of the lessons that he has learned in life to his three children. Many of the clues are supplemented with humorous cartoons that drive the point home. Some of the clues are timeless while others reflect our modern times. Although the book is a quick read, each clue provides an opportunity to reflect upon the assumptions and priorities that for the basis of how we live our lives.
