Book Cover & Preview Text
Throughout my life, I have observed how some people seem to be adrift and gasping for air in the vast sea of life, while others seem to rise to the top easily and breathe all the fresh air they want. My goal is to give you some guidance and direction on how to reach the top and thrive. Where we start in this world doesn’t determine where we end up. However, to rise as high as you can, you must discover and incorporate what I call the “Principles of Happiness and Success.” How well you master these 15 principles, discussed in Part II, will impact your life and your happiness far more than you can possibly imagine. This will give you and everyone you can influence a better shot at a good and memorable life. You must be prepared for whatever life throws at you and if you meet these challenges with courage while giving it everything you have to give; you can be happy and successful. My introduction to the success field began many years ago when I listened to one of Tony Robbins’ audio programs. Later, I studied success principles in great detail, began implementing them, and came to understand that you can improve yourself regardless of your age or station in life. It doesn’t matter your upbringing or current circumstances—you can make things better. I am a living example. While I was born with the ability to sell things, I didn’t put it all together until I studied and learned the principles discussed in this work. Within 20 months of learning these lessons, my average annual earnings increased from about $100,000 through 2014 to $400,000 in 2015. This was all the proof I needed to know these principles were responsible for my new-found happiness and success! You too can experience the best that life has to offer.

About the Author
Gary Draper graduated from High School in 1964 and as an outside activity became a member of Junior Achievement, learning the basics of business. He joined the U.S. Marine Corps after graduation to explore the world and qualify for the G.I. Bill to pay for his future education and eliminate the need for a 20% down payment on a future purchase of a home. He graduated from California State University, Fullerton, in 1974 and worked at Disneyland as a ride operator during his tenure. Then, for the next 40 years or so, he was primarily a self-employed Executive Recruiter or a so-called “headhunter.” Over the years, he enjoyed success, as he averaged about six figures in annual billings, mostly as a one-person-shop, working from his home office and with very little overhead. In 2013, Gary began studying success experts. This gave him new energy and lots of ideas. Then, in 2014, he launched a new approach to his business and life, using what he termed the Principles of Happiness and Success. He became happier, his business and his character changed for the better, and in 2015, his annual billings rose by nearly 4 times his career average. This was all of the proof he needed. He credits this success to discovering what he needed to know and do to enhance his character and succeed. This motivated him to make this work the best quick resource possible, and inspired him to try to make the world a better place by publishing this work of life advice based on the Principles of Happiness and Success. This work, then, represents the desire of all parents to have their kids learn the basics of happiness and success.
