Mystic and the Secret of Happiness

Bullied by my fears, my journey to happiness through the eyes of a cat.

Mystic the cat loses everything he thought was the cause of his joy and

reason for existence when his best friend, an elephant named Bumpa

goes missing.

Heartbroken, Mystic decides to search for his lost friend, and regain his

happiness. But on his journey, he meets a strange, beautiful black cat

named Freedom who insists he doesn't need Bumpa to be happy,

and a terrifying red cat named Trembly who tries to convince him that

happiness is an illusion.

Mystic's hope shatters and his worst fears threaten to push him into a bottomless abyss of pain.

Will Mystic have the strength to face his fears?

Will he ever see Bumpa, or be truly happy ever again?

Could a grumpy cat's investigation resolve the mystery of happiness?

When I was ten, I told my mother I would write a book about the painful experiences I had as a child.

It would be about all the negativity I suffered and the people who had caused it.

As it turns out, life had a better plan for me, I just couldn't see it yet.

As a young adult I struggled with anorexia, depression, and a hatred of life, all of which were

manifestations of my deep-seated fears.

Then one day, I read my first self-help book and found that the happiness I had known years

before when I lived with my grand- parents was something I could have again.

This discovery led me on a chaotic journey, full of ups anddowns as my fears and negativity

tried to force their way back in, but I never gave up.

Finally, I got a sense of what my inner joy was, and how I could achieve it in a sustainable way.

It was then...
