"Once upon a time there was a young psychiatrist called Hector who was not very satisfied with himself. . . . And so he decided to take a trip around the world, and everywhere he went he would try to understand what made people happy or unhappy."
Hector travels from Paris to China to Africa to the United States, and along the way he keeps a list of observations about the people he meets. Combining the winsome appeal of "The Little Prince" with the inspiring philosophy of "The Alchemist," Hector's journey around the world and into the human soul is entertaining, empowering, and smile-inducing--as winning in its optimism as it is wise in its simplicity.

The delightful third book in the multimillion-copy internationally bestselling series

The irresistible second installment in the beloved series that has sold millions of copies worldwide.
Since his first captivating adventure in "Hector and the Search for Happiness," Hector the young French psychiatrist has continued to explore the mysteries of the human soul. Having found that love seems virtually inseparable from happiness, he begins taking notes on this powerful emotion.
