Bill Wilson is a native of County Durham, now living in Lincolnshire. He has studied in a number of fields including civil engineering,theology, philosophy, psychology, organisation theory,behavioural science and education. He has practiced professionally as a civil engineer; an ordained clergyman; a lecturer in adult higher education specialising in industrial relations; and finally as a Principal of a Further and Higher Education College. Bill's stories about his life are not a simple chronology of events, but rather a recollection of events in, and through which happiness chanced upon him. Bill believes that happiness cannot be engineered but rather emerges unexpectedly - sometimes out of the unlikeliest of happenings. Once recognised however, such moments can be embraced and nurtured, thus opening the way for the recognition of happiness in almost any of life's events. Bill's life-stories are funny and witty,joyous and sad - but always poignant and encouraging.
