“The Happiest Man on Earth”

This is the title of a book written by Holocaust survivor Eddie Jaku, published when he was 100 years old.  I just finished the book in tears and cannot miss the opportunity to recommend this reading to every person I could. 

The book is a wise beautiful expression of joy and hope, coming from someone that was taken to the most extreme of human suffering and yet, transformed his centenary life into an example of strength and positive attitude. 

I hope you take the time to read this book and enjoy it as much as I did.  If you are lazy to read the book, you can also enjoy the 11 min TED Talk he performed in 2019.

“There are always miracles in the world, even when all seems hopeless. And when there are no miracles, you can make them happen. With a simple act of kindness, you can save another person from despair, and that might just save their life. And this is the greatest miracle of all.” Eddie Jaku
