Ted and I shared a part of our journey to self-actualization together as students at Georgetown Universityunder the wise tutelage of Father Joseph Durkin, S.J. He was a wise man and emphasized to us living a life in balance where head, heart, body, and soul needed to be nourished. He gave us both permission to seek happiness in our lives and careers. Applying this Jesuit ideal to business and to public service is at the heart of this book. We have been given permission to be happyand as Ted shows, the happier the company, the more successful it can become.
Maria Shriver,author, journalist, First Lady of California

In The Business of Happiness, Ted shares insights about designing a business plan for personal growth and success. Teds life story by itself would be a compelling read. But by sharing these valuable insights, he has drawn a road map for readers who share his commitment to personal development.
