A valuable much needed book, which explores how to successfully achieve a reasonable state of happiness, throughout our lifetimes while managing the dire challenges we all are certain to face. As Woody Allen would say: "It's the shit happens phenomenon, it's only a question of how much and when!" The importance of laughter is captured, through descriptive narrative providing the reader with a "word picture", and ability to share the many real life truly funny situations presented. The book also addresses the most important questions man can ask, namely: What's It All About?, Why Are We Here?, and Is There An Afterlife? Input from several of the most brilliant minds, past and present, along with indisputable scientific facts, regarding those questions, are cited for the reader's consideration and personal evaluation.
