Joel ben Izzy had the unusual opportunity to relive those lessons when he lost his voice and reconnected with his old teacher, Lenny, a retired storyteller. Through his meetings with Lenny, Joel rediscovers the wisdom of ancient tales and takes us on a journey into a world of beggars and kings, monks and tigers, lost horses and buried treasures--and in the end tells us the secret of happiness.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><i>The Beggar Kind and the Secret of Happiness</i> is an altogether original true story about a storyteller who loses his voice and believes he's lost everything.
