Easy To Read, Teach & Understand!
Each of the 21 values contains an essay that is easy to read and understand. It teaches in a way that makes sense and enables the reader to make intelligent decisions in life based on understanding. So much more than a simple memorization of "DOs and DON'Ts", The Way to Happiness can give a person the values and understanding needed to make intelligent, correct decisions on his or her own determinism.

Appropriate to any Cultural Background!
Written specifically as a non-religious work so that any person or any group, public or private, could use its message of basic values and lessons for life. The Way To Happiness is appropriate to any cultural background, religious or otherwise, and in any private, public or governmental organization.

In addition to the countless letters and successes from individuals, parents, teachers and students we have received, The Way to Happiness has been awarded well over a hundred proclamations and recognitions from city, state and national governments around the world as a result of the benefits it has brought to their citizens and communities. Here is just a sampling:

From a High School Teacher

"I have used The Way to Happiness booklet in my classes to aid in teaching value clarification techniques over the past two years. In all my years of experience, I have never found a more useful and effective tool for conveying and instilling in young people the foundation and framework from which to begin their life's work. Its appeal to the students I have dealt with (considering their diverse backgrounds and the social and educational problems they bring with them to our program) has been utterly amazing!" —R.U.

From the Permanent Representative of the Slovak Republic to the United Nations

"I am writing you to confirm that I have received the wonderful book The Way to Happiness. Please accept my most sincere gratitude for that. While reading it I found it as one of the most moving and touching ways to speak about life and the horrible senselessness of the war. My suggestion would be to print as many copies of the book as possible in all languages and distribute it to the widest groups of people all over the world."

The Way to Happiness helps prevent a breakup

Thousands of stories illustrate what individuals can do to help others, simply by distributing The Way To Happiness booklets. One salesman tells of his experience in helping two people find the way to happiness:

"A young couple sat down near my display and were arguing. I walked over to them with two copies of The Way to Happiness. After the young man told me he was going off to college and wanted to date other girls while gone, I understood why his pregnant girlfriend was so upset.

"I turned to the precept 'Be Faithful to Your Sexual Partner' and read it aloud to the young man. I said, 'We're not even talking about your girlfriend's happiness; we are talking about your happiness. This booklet is The Way to Happiness. Do you want to be happy?' He replied that he did want to be happy and sat down and started intently studying the booklet.

(The salesman went back to packing up his display. The girl was still crying, but also reading her copy of the booklet. After about 10 minutes, the young man jumped over the brick wall and ran into a nearby store.)

"He returned with two huge heart-shaped balloons," said the salesman. "He hopped over the brick wall, handed both balloons to her and whispered something in her ear. They embraced, kissed and literally skipped down the sidewalk, arm in arm, with the two The Way to Happiness booklets and the two heart-shaped balloons bouncing along with them. This incredible booklet had just changed their lives for the better."
