Reviews for …and Happy
Dr. West scored a hole in one through his book. In it he shares fast-paced and witty recipes to achieve happiness and to find both contentment and love in ourselves and in the passionate work that we do.

I found Dr. West’s book to be particularly relevant, impactful, motivating and meaningful in regard to my own life and that of my family. I especially enjoyed the way he wove his own humorous, heartfelt and deeply personal experiences and introspections to illustrate each ‘lesson.’
