Description: "Why a book for ACTORS on the subject of HAPPINESS? Actors face a unique set of challenges.  No matter what level a career has reached, uncertainity, rejection, judgment, and disappointment are all part of being an actor, and happiness is often placed in the hands of what happens 'out there.' Yet the truth is, happiness is an inside job.  Being generally happy and fulfilled is absolutely essential to the success and longevity of an actor's career. In Happy Actor you will learn practical and transformational steps to help you, the actor, boost your happiness levels while navigating the worlds of stage, film, and television.  You will hear personal stories of Hollywood actors as they have adopted these powerful keys, as well as inside perspectives from some of our top award-winning industry professionals, including: producer/director David Nutter, actress Christine Lahti, casting director Marck Teschner, and casting director/acting coach Risa Bramon Garcia."
