A bit about me.
Hi, Peter Jennings here. My friends call me PJ. I'm a journalist and published author of
​7 books (see below) with more on the way. I write creative non-fiction books that help people transform their lives in order to gain greater happiness, inspiring them to ​capitalize on the advantages they are offered.

I have been deeply involved in discovering the depth of human conditions that allow people to make adaptations in their lives to improve their outlook. And I’m honoured that celebrated sociologist and senior fellow at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, Dr. Christine Carter, labels me a “Happiness Expert” due to the breadth of analysis reflected in my book on happiness (beinghappymatters.life). Drawing on research in psychology and sociology, my goal is to help my readers lead their most meaningful lives.
I am also a public speaker, regularly presenting Keynote Addresses. Oh, and I'm a singer too, specializing in tunes from the Great American Songbook. It's a full life.
During my career, I ran a marketing agency in Toronto where we provided clients with advertising, promotion and production. Clients included IBM, Royal Bank, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Procter & Gamble, etc. You can learn more here.


As an author, my books include the following (click the buttons for more information on each)...
