Product Description
Book Description
Climb your Stairway to Heaven is personal growth written with pep and zest, humor and wit, in the author's energetic and interactive speaking style. Readers increase their happiness through daily habits. Wisdom, anecdotes, quizzes and exercises teach while they entertain. The "cave drawings" add a whimsical sensation to the book. "Self-help" has never been this much fun!
The book provides nine habits people can use in their daily lives to increase their level of happiness, regardless of how happy they feel now. The book is divided into four parts and one "stretch".
The first part helps readers understand the science of happiness.
The second part, which is the largest, helps people feel comfortable and satisfied with themselves and their environments. It helps readers value who they are, what they do, what they have and how they feel. Hire a cheerleader. Break out of your comfort zone. Write yourself a very special letter. Travel in David's Incredible Time Machine.
The Seventh Habit Stretch serves up some food for thought on how our physical condition can affect our happiness. Defeat octopitis.
The third part is about our relationships with others and how they can affect our happiness. Learn how to manage the Wheel of Friendship. Solve the riddle of altruism.
Throughout the book, readers are invited to participate in pop quizzes (No grades are assigned, though.)and exercises to help them develop the habits of maximum happiness.

David Leonhardt is one of North America's most vocal consumer advocates, fighting for truth, justice and consumer satisfaction. In Climb your Stairway to Heaven he tackles satisfaction from the other end of the telescope.
An accomplished Toastmaster, David delivers motivational messages to live audiences, in addition to granting over 600 media interviews each year.
When not consumer advocating, speaking, writing or drawing, David escapes to nature. His official biography says he has, "lunched with moose, snacked with ducks, shared a camp site with a black bear, and served as a snack for countless mosquitoes."
