This isn't a self-help book. It's a survival story. Pursuit of Happiness is a raw, unfiltered look at what it really means to search for peace while carrying pain. In ten powerful, honest chapters, Allen Dekeyser takes readers through the hidden battles so many fight in silence — depression, heartbreak, addiction, poverty, grief, and the long, non-linear road to healing. Through deeply personal storytelling and hauntingly real visuals, Dekeyser writes not from above the struggle, but from inside it. This book doesn’t promise quick fixes. It doesn't preach. It simply says, “You’re not alone — and you’re not broken.” Perfect for readers who are tired of toxic positivity and hungry for truth, Pursuit of Happiness is for anyone who’s ever: Smiled when they were falling apart Stayed in a love that was killing them Felt invisible in a room full of people Chased numbness just to escape the noise Wanted to give up, but didn’t With stark vulnerability and a voice that cuts through the noise, Allen Dekeyser offers something rare: honesty without shame, hope without hype, and healing without pretending. You don’t have to be okay to keep going. You just have to keep going.
