We write and publish our own books. And we help authors bring their own story into the world – honest, personal, real.
Books are inspiring because life is – with all its rough edges. The best stories rarely come from places where everything is polished smooth, but from places where people truly meet one another.
You'll find them in every city: the small, slightly chaotic cafés and bars away from the expensive shopping zones, run by warm-hearted people who serve you homemade cake at a wobbly table. Places where everyone is on first-name terms and respects one another, because everyone is in the same boat. It's exactly there, near Montmartre in Paris or at Place Pigalle, that the encounters and stories that stay with you are born.
Perfection, on the other hand, rarely tells a good story. A tea served on two silver trays with tiny pots of sugar and milk may look flawless – but it touches no one. Even people who can afford any luxury eventually long for the real thing: home cooking instead of a five-star menu, an honest conversation instead of small talk.
"Perfectionism is the perfect template for an unhappy life. Cosiness begins where perfection ends." — Ivan Silvester, Founder of More Happy Life Publishers
This experience is the foundation of More Happy Life Publishers: we believe in real, imperfect stories – honest and warm rather than polished smooth. That's why we write books that tell of real experiences. And that's why we help other authors publish their own, unvarnished story – because MoreHappyLife happens wherever people contribute their part.
We develop, write and publish our own book projects – from personal development to moving life stories and special non-fiction topics.
Do you carry a manuscript or a book idea inside you? We guide you from the first draft through editing and design to the finished publication – including distribution through our own store.
Ivan Silvester is the founder of More Happy Life Publishers. As an entrepreneur, chef and consultant, he spent years on the move – from small neighbourhood cafés in Paris to business jets at the Davos airport. Along the way, one insight kept confirming itself: the most beautiful and valuable moments happen where people are real, listen, and share their own story.
This conviction is the foundation of More Happy Life Publishers: books that grow out of real experiences and encourage other people to tell their own story.
