Frequently Asked Questions
Why did I create this website?
I have been to hell and back, and once more for good measure! Are you there now with any part of you life? Can relate to that statement? Then, this site was created to help you become a happier person through personal growth pathways via a new system that worked for me and should also for you!

And finally and most importantly applying these Happier Growth Paths that I share with you that I used on myself to rebuild my shattered life!
Who am I?
My name is Tom B and I have been:
Made Redundant, Failed with subsequent New Business Startups, Faced Impending Bankruptcy and Homelessness and eventually Died (via Sudden Cardiac Death)
but today:

Where are you Located?
I am an American who moved to Galway City on the West Coast of Ireland with my Family. Ireland is a beautiful part of the world with great healing power through its rugged nature and coastlines, and of course its people.
However, I always have a calling to the beauty of America and especially its wonderful landmarks (whether natural or made) in which I stand In Wonder everyday in my minds eye!
