David Leonhardt is one of North America's most vocal consumer advocates, fighting for truth, justice and consumer satisfaction. In Climb your Stairway to Heaven he tackles satisfaction from the other end of the telescope.

An accomplished Toastmaster, David delivers motivational messages to live audiences, in addition to granting over 600 media interviews each year.

When not consumer advocating, speaking, writing or drawing, David escapes to nature. His official biography says he has, "lunched with moose, snacked with ducks, shared a camp site with a black bear, and served as a snack for countless mosquitoes."

5.0 out of 5 stars HOW TO BE HAPPY!, August 5, 2002

By	Lionel Ketchian (CT) - See all my reviews

I just updated the books on our web site, .... One of the books I recommend is called: Climb your Stairway to Heaven, The 9 Habits of Maximum Happiness, by David Leonhardt. It is truly a wonderful book, full of insights by an author and his wife discovering and living the principles of happiness in their daily lives.

As David says in his book and I quote him, "You control your happiness. It really is your choice." No smarter words were ever written by anyone. David knows happiness, he and his wife live it every day.

Best of all he is teaching you how to be happy. Don't miss this opportunity to grab happiness by buying David Leonhardt's book. It should be the next book you read.
