	Success and Happiness: A 5-Country Informal Exploratory Study (Jan.2006 - Feb.2008)

	Sapphire Jule King's experience mentoring, tutoring, and counseling vulnerable youth yielded a key observation: most progress made with the youngsters was negated once the youth returned to their home environments. Most of the parents seemed unhappy yet resistant to counseling/coaching and relunctant to take action that would change their circumstances. In this 2-year self-funded study, Ms. King interviewed participants representing at least 20 countries to understand adults' concept of success, happiness, and healing and to understand the principles for lasting change.
