THE PHJ STORY
The PHJ approach
PHJ is the culmination of the lifelong journey of authors Scott Frank and Yossi Lerman on their quest for significant, meaningful, committed and purposeful lives.

On this adventure they have discovered an approach that has helped them reduce their stress and experience more joy daily.

Their “Peace, Harmony, Joy” approach can help you live your best life and take relationships with family, friends, and community to another level.

Scott is an executive at a Fortune 10 company and chairs several non-profits. Yossi is a head rabbi and has committed his life to helping people. Both are married with many children.

Scott learned about Peace, Harmony, and Joy from self help books, self development classes, and the school of hard knocks. Yossi learned PHJ from scripture, religious leaders, and faith teachings.

They met in 2012. On the surface, they did not have much in common. However, after having lunches monthly and then weekly meetings, they learned that they both had strong beliefs and approaches to living better lives individually, in families, and in communities.

Several years after meeting, they began to share these concepts with Yossi’s congregation. The impact was was fast and significant for many. They then became aware of a structured approach to what they were doing. The Peace, Harmony, and Joy Approach was born and used consistently.

Scott had written some successful books earlier in his life, and thought the approach should be made available to the public. Yossi agreed.

In 2019, they published “Less Stress, More Joy : The Peace Harmony Joy Approach”. They were pleasantly surprised with the number of people who read it.

One of the readers was Les Brown, the world renowned motivational speaker. He soon invited Scott and Yossi on “Lunch with Les”, which had a huge viewership.

Soon people asked if a non-profit could be formed to help more people. Scott had experience with leading other non-profits and thought they should try. Yossi agreed.

The Peace Harmony Joy Alliance was launched in 2021. The organization is now helping people, families, teams, and communities around the world experience better lives.

They hope the PHJ Principles will help bring humanity closer to having “Peace on Earth”, “Harmony in the Lands”, and “Joy to the World”. Please join our “Joyful Journey”!
