Changing a Country at War – 9. February, 2009
In November 2008, artists Jimmy Collins and Sleven Rucci-Airo went to the war-torn Democratic Republic of the Congo to hand-deliver copies of the non-religious common-sense moral guide The Way to Happiness.
Confronting a hostile environment full of heavily-armed soldiers, they managed to pull together a group of volunteers who helped them penetrate the front lines of the conflict and get the book into the hands of thousands of soldiers on both sides. The team succeeded in gaining the support of key officials from both armies, including General Laurent Nkunda, commander of the rebel CNDP Army. This unprecedented and rare meeting was documented to include his inspired agreement to the precepts in the book. (more…)

Latest Seminar a Big Hit – 5. January, 2008
January 5th, 2008, The Way to Happiness Foundation rang in the New Year by hosting a workshop designed to help people better understand the precepts in The Way to Happiness booklet.
Nancy Cartwright, Honorary Mayor of the North valley and international spokesperson for The Way to Happiness, recently ended 2007 by sending out over a million booklets to households in the greater San Fernando Valley. The booklets were a huge hit and this seminar was just the thing to follow up the distribution of the books.
Led by Richard Stewart, the interactive workshop got a little personal when people talked about moments when they were most happy; it was moving and the joy was contagious.
By the end, members of the audience were getting more booklets to give to their neighbors, asking about places they could volunteer and inquiring about more workshops that they, and their loved ones, could attend.
Thanks to all who made the workshop a great success, including those who were in attendance. Best wishes and Happy New Year.
