The Mechanics of Happiness: Engineering a Positive Approach to Your Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781600376962)

Peter J Levine has been involved in the esoteric tradition for more than thirty years. This work is the result of that process. Born into a classic dysfunctional setting - father a violent career criminal, mother a teenage orphan, growing up in the wash of all the appropriate clich駸 - he determined, in the absence of real meaning, to find answers to the big questions that underpin all our lives.

As soon as he could he left to pursue his own personal development odyssey, an ongoing journey that lead to some remarkable discoveries. He has a successful entrepreneurial career in business, as a college lecturer and has earned Master's degrees in Philosophy, History and Creative Writing along the way.

Having survived and escaped the most unpromising of beginnings Peter realized many years later that he began with nothing. He had to make sense of what he discovered and extract meaning from it via a lengthy process. He concluded that there would be others like him who would benefit from the mass of knowledge and practical application he had gathered.

Peter and his wife they have two wonderful adult children who are both eminent in their chosen fields.
