297 | Surviving 16 Years in a Bangkok Prison to Find Lasting Happiness

T.M Hoy survived 16 Years in a Thailand Prison and is the author of Lasting Happiness and Rotting in the Bangkok Hilton. He became a gemologist after college, working in the jewelry industry for years. He traveled widely in Europe and Asia (where he lived for a decade). While living in Northern Thailand, a friend murdered a woman in his house. Fearful of the Thai police, he helped cover it up. When caught, he could not pay the bribe the judge and police demanded, and spent the next 16 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Lasting Happiness is the product of that experience, a realization of how little we really need to be happy.
