Publisher's summary

Discover how to embrace the gifts of the present and let go of the weights of the past with moments from author Moses T. Alexander Greene and his fight toward defining and redefining happiness. In this insightful book, Moses T. Alexander Greene examines a question asked by one of his former college scholars: "Professor, when will you know when you are happy?"

Writing from his own experience, Greene covers 35 lessons of wisdom, discovery, self-care, learning how to live in the present, and why he believes no one (including you) looks like what they have been through. With the grace of God, these topics and more helped him understand why happiness often eluded him. He shares:

  • How his grandfather, the late Harvey Gorham, taught him how to recover from mistakes and failures
  • From whom he learned that putting himself first was an act of love, not selfishness
  • Why it took an injury that temporarily left him incapacitated to realize that pain was often the only indicator that he had pushed himself too far
  • How waiting one night before making a reckless decision could have saved him years of regret

Greene has written this book for one reason: Happiness is worth (re)defining for yourself and then fighting for! If you are ready to take responsibility for your life and experience happiness permeating your inner being and outward realities, this book is for you.

A transparent and inspiring journey that you must take

“I Fought to Be This Happy” was so much more than I expected. As Moses shared his story, it evoked memories and emotions that I’d not experienced in years. It was healing, affirming, confirming and so motivational. I recommend this book to anyone who has struggled with seeing the miracles in loss, failure and disappointment. Although his story, each chapter carried you to your own space of reflection. Moses’s narration made the book even more special. His vulnerability shined through with power. A brilliant work of art. Thank you for sharing your story.
