Finding Happy

A comprehensive master class for Gen Z and millennials to find happiness in a challenging world.

Peter Samuelson has always thought that walls are meant for climbing. He has repeatedly found the hidden door and climbed over those walls, gone around them, or blown them up. The child of a father who left school at fourteen, he was first in his family to attend college and graduated from Cambridge on a full academic scholarship. He was the worried but ambitious immigrant who came to America alone. He has produced twenty-seven films, including successful comedies, tragedies, and dramas...but he started decades ago making coffee for the crew. He's the founder of five major charities that have raised over $1 billion for those less fortunate, in four countries over forty years. He's a really happy guy who explains how he got here, the producer who got the star who refused to work out of his trailer. Samuelson is a compelling storyteller with a good memory for mad events and crazy people. He's the man who hid prop machine guns under his bed in Marrakech and nearly died rescuing a kitten. Most important of all, he has mentored hundreds of underprivileged kids and worked out how to help them develop ambition and build their own worthwhile lives. It's all in the stories he tells.
