Mike combines his  life story - of how and why he moved from being a chief executive to working as a career mentor in order to help improve the lives of his executive  clients, increase his own sense of personal purpose and reduce his own level of stress - with the findings of research to suggest how you can increase your own level of well being by following his five "Principles of Happiness." By doing this you will  be likely to live a longer, healthier, happier and more productive life. Mike is an unusual combination of international businessman turned mentor who has worked with 250 executive clients to help them work out and achieve a role in which they will feel happy and be effective. He is writing a book on work and well-being. Over a varied career – change manager, chief executive and now career mentor – he is proudest of having told the World Bank how they should spend $300 million on environmental education in Indonesia in 1980.
