Dear Rob,

Happy birthday to you! What an exciting year you've had - and I'm sure the best is yet to come!

Your book really inspired me. Not only was it a personal milestone for you, but it also took the literary world by storm. When I saw it on the list of the ten best books of 2024 in the business category, I just had to smile. You've really done it, Rob!

Your tireless energy and enthusiasm are infectious. I can't wait to see what you pull out of the hat next. No matter what it is, I'm sure it will surprise everyone again!

What particularly impresses me about you is how you have remained so down-to-earth and realistic despite your success. It's just fun to follow your journey.

I wish you not only a wonderful day today, but a whole year full of inspiring moments, new insights and, of course, plenty of reasons to celebrate. Enjoy your special day!

All the best and see you soon, Hans

P.S.: Don't forget to treat yourself with an extra bike ride today - you deserve it!

Happy B-day Rob. Love your book, I’ve bought several copies and passed them around. I’m also about to start reading one from your secret santa book list. Go pop a wheelie today!

Happy Birthday Rob. The book was a great read - I got it from Denver Public Library which is how I get most of my books but I'll buy one for my older son when he starts university next autumn.

Thank you for mentioning libraries. Another way to increase both the sales of Rob’s book and message is to request libraries who haven’t added Troubled to circulation consider doing so. Most libraries have a request form their patrons can complete to do this.

I did just as you suggested earlier this year. I bought 2 copies of your book: one for myself and one for a cousin who has struggled to put his life together. Thanks for the amazing content, being true to yourself, being very relatable, and happy birthday!

Happy belated Birthday! I really hope you write a Part 2, “Famous at 30 for coining ‘Luxury Beliefs’” that covers your last few and next few years.

Plus more insight about yourself and life and maybe a bit more about your changing friendship status with your school friend who remain mostly blue collar, and what you think they think about you.

I laughed at “he literally wrote the book on storytelling.”

Happy birthday Rob! You’ve got many years ahead of you where your expertise and wisdom will be making a difference in the world. You’ve got a gift and talent that are outstanding and I’ve really enjoyed seeing the world gravitate towards your message and learn about Luxury Beliefs, a concept so important that people are referring to your theory, and you, in conversations, in sermons, discussions, interviews, just everywhere. You’ve given us the words to address an issue that has implications for every single one of us. Thanks for making a difference, for being willing to expose the hardships of your own life, to illuminate and educate even when it’s not easy, when everyone is swimming in the other direction, keeping us on track and grounded with your research and information that you share. Your book would make a perfect Christmas gift or birthday present for youth or young adults and don’t forget that libraries need donations too, so anyone who already bought a copy should consider gifting copies to others. It’s a modern classic and I hope it finds a place in libraries and shelves everywhere.

Feliz cumpleaños, Dr. Henderson.

Recuerdo quee alguna vez dijo que los logros académicos y la soltura económica que ha forjado, la cambiaría por nunca haber tenido que vivir la vida que tuvo.

No se puede cambiar el pasado, pero me alegro con toda el alma que las cosas estén yendo mejor para usted.

Deseo que siga teniendo ese cerebro brillante, ese temple para las buenas decisiones, y ese humor que lo caracteriza.

Con todo respeto y admiración.

Angel Romero
