My inspiration for composing this work was to assist and help all persons that mental anguish and years of emotional trauma can be overcome with attaining personal meaning and purpose. Everyone is searching for happiness; however, few seem to discover it let alone find the path towards it. Dr. Henderson reveals in the details of his life story that personal happiness is an individual road with lots of bumps and bruises along the way. The key is persistence and determination towards adjusting one's attitude, feelings, and behaviors in the direction of short and long term goals and achievements. His story is a magnificent approach to the audacity of the human spirit.
