MILE BEHIND THE SMILE
December 4, 2019
Mile Behind The Smile is about re-imagining what happiness is in our society. A compilation of stories from people who have been able to find happiness, despite adversity, through acts of selflessness, service and, ultimately, love.
This book was not written to serve as a survival guide, but rather a friend who you can turn to for love & support. A philosophy that shaped the format of this book is: "I am a lighthouse rather than a boat. I do not rescue, but instead help others to find their own way to shore, guiding them by my example".
Let this book be your lighthouse, helping guide you to the authentic happiness you deserve.
"We should be proud of who we are and where we come from, even if it is not picture perfect. Owning our stories and sharing the details of the mile behind our smiles is essential to rediscovering our genuine happiness"
