Trust me folks, Hollyweird has nothing to do with this book. This is just some guy down here in the woods of Louisiana who fears God Loves his family. And Loves his neighbor. Works hard. This is just a way so that you may be able to get a little insight into how that lifestyle can help your life. I would just think by reading this book if you come out happier than you were I would consider that me hitting a homerun. As far as high your relatives. When you live as family structure as we do, we're close, we're loving, we train our children to trust each other. Trust us their parents. Listen to their great grandparents, their grandparents. Heed the instruction of older wiser men. You bring all that together, you're a lot better off when you have that type of mindset as your employees. No doubt about it. I've been travelin' to and fro across the United States of America for the last two decades. And I give them a speech that entails First- rate duck call instruction. A segment is given to the forefathers of our country, men like George Washington, who said basically, I'm paraphrasing. But you can't govern the world right without God and the Bible. Thomas Jefferson, the writer of our Declaration of Independence. You know, all men are created equal, and they been endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, life, For liberty, the pursuit of happiness. They're basically saying that we've been granted rights from God that no government can take away from us. I'm just trying, through this book, to help you understand that the pursuit of happiness is an honorable goal. I'm just trying to help you get there. If nothing else, I would hope that you came away, with a code of livin', that says, love God. Love your neighbor. And take your kids, on the water, in the woods, and train them to be the same way. I just think we would be a lot better off. In this case going back to the old ways keeping life simple don't run so fast and be like George Washington, John Adams Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Josh Quincy Adams, and the like. As you listen to the audio book. One of the things I hope that you understand, is my goal for you, and that is to help you find that rarest of commodities. And that is peace of mind. If you listen carefully, I think you will end up with peace of mind which will in fact give you happiness. I'll let you listen to it. It's an inside look into my life.
