But after three years of sheer willpower, I finally published the book. It got great feedback from respected entrepreneurs and experts. Turns out, I really had managed to pack it with value. In fact, it's not the kind of book you can binge-read. The best way to go through it is one story per day — reflect, take something away, and apply it.

After publishing, I made it a habit to keep meeting with successful entrepreneurs. To keep the momentum going, I launched a YouTube channel called Business Practices. It grew quickly and soon gained hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

Once I found my stride, I put together another book — this time featuring members of a top-level business club. Then I got started on a project about something like Amazon in scale and reach[1]. Honestly, that one was pure luck. It all came down to the right connections, and somehow I managed to get in touch with the marketplace's founder.

Over time, we ended up organizing nearly 500 meetings with entrepreneurs. And eventually, quantity started turning into quality. Slowly but surely, I began to realize something: happiness is actually a relatively simple thing — not easy, but simple. Like learning to play the saxophone or climbing mountains. It's a skill. And like any skill, it can be learned. It just takes time and consistent practice.

The deeper I went, the more I felt the urge to write about happiness. But then came the classic excuse — no time.

Then came our long-awaited trip to Morocco. I brought my laptop along, just in case. And something clicked. I realized this was it — my window of opportunity. I knew another one like it wouldn't come around anytime soon.

From that moment on, I was in full-on writing mode. Whether it was on a train, a plane, or a bus, I was glued to my laptop. I just kept going. In fact, almost the entire book was written during that trip to Morocco.

When I got back home, it hit me: I had to keep the momentum going. So, I told everyone I knew that the book would be out in a month. That was it — no turning back. I made a commitment I couldn't walk back from.
