But even as a young boy, forced to hide during the Nazi occupation, he had a taste for happiness and was unwilling to settle for anything less. After surviving WWII, he relocated to New York and went on to lead Lazard for twenty-five years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is not your typical autobiography of a businessman. While there may be elements you recognize, all the pieces put together create a unique portrait of a singular man who stands as a link between the past and the future, and whose greatest ability is his tenacity in choosing happiness regardless of exterior circumstances. This skill may seem unexceptional in a successful man-doesn't he have every reason to be happy?-but happiness is never merely a result of one's conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA man of two countries, a successful international businessman, an avid art appreciator, a world-renowned philanthropist, and one who knows the true value of happiness, David-Weill reminds readers of his poignant story that it's up to you to live a happy life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":53321484370218,"sku":"9781500565169","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/4553\/1946\/files\/img_18f23bb6-8d30-4f95-82db-0ad236d54a37.jpg?v=1793052289","url":"https:\/\/delvanta.shop\/products\/a-taste-for-happiness","provider":"Whitmore Lane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
