Pierrefonds native Leonhardt, consumer advocate by profession, has added to the self-help shelf in a cheery and entertaining fashion. Climb Your Stairway to Heaven is subtitled “The 9 Habits of Maximum Happiness,” and Leonhardt delivers. He makes it clear that he does not deal with psychological disorders, religion, addictions – in short his directives are meant to address the things we actually can change in our lives. He leaves the psychology to the professionals, which is a refreshing change from the books which promise to cure everything from the blues to deep depression. His nine habits are achievable. All this is delivered with pop quizzes, stories, and quotable quotes. A great spring pick-me-up. mRb
