Happiness is intentionally misspelled in the book's title as "happyness" because Gardner saw it printed like that on a daycare sign while looking for affordable childcare, and later decided to use the misspelled word in the title of his book. The book is not only about education, relationships, and work, it is about self-motivation, facing real-world problems, and grappling to overcome adversity. The author provides a detailed description of his rags to riches saga: the story of a single, sometimes homeless parent who raised his son on the streets and later fulfills his dreams of financial success. Father Chris is in his cheap salesman suit and baby Christopher is in his kindergarten dress. The book focuses on Gardner's quest for success in his career and a healthy and happy future for his child.
