If you found out that today was your last day alive, would you be happy with how you lived life?

May 28, 2012 - PRLog -- No one is handed a life instruction manual when they’re born. Instead of relying on trial and error to figure out how to live a good life, author Brad Anastasia wants his debut book Finding Your Way to Happy to serve as your life’s compass.

An ex-wall street banker and quarter-life crises survivor, Brad Anastasia could have used that compass in his own life. Like most of his peers, he spent the better part of thirty years believing that conformity was the key to happiness, that success was defined by the size of your bank account, and that life was one continual upward spiral. But instead of finding bliss, he wound up stressed out, miserable, and full of regret. Now with benefit of hindsight and a clearer understanding what’s needed (and not needed) to be happy in life, he’s determined to help others avoid a similar fate.  

Broken down into twenty-five lessons that focus on careers, relationships, health, and life in general, Finding Your Way to Happy dispels common misconceptions about what leads to a good life by explaining why:
•   Financial success isn’t a prerequisite to happiness
•   Your genetics don’t always have your best interests in mind
•   People don’t change without extraordinary effort
•   Nothing very bad lasts for very long
•   Happiness shouldn’t be complicated

Filled with actionable advice on how to find happiness and meaning in today’s world, Finding Your Way to Happy offers a modern perspective on life’s timeless lessons, and urges readers to confront the question: Am I living my life the right way?

Brad Anastasia is a former investment banker who gave up a successful career and six-figure salary to pursue a simpler, more meaningful life. After discovering there are many ways to find happiness aside from following the “traditional” life plan, his mission now is to help others make smarter life choices, improve their well-being, and avoid future regret. A graduate of the University of Chicago, Brad has lived and worked in a number of different cities throughout the world, including Buenos Aires, Argentina and Lima, Peru.
