The Way to Happiness Association of Tennessee Calms Troubled Neighborhoods
The Way to Happiness Association of Tennessee has long helped people by spreading calm through The Way to Happiness booklet.
- (1888PressRelease) May 03, 2019 - "True joy and happiness are valuable," begins the common sense guide, The Way to Happiness, written by humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard in the early 1980s. Since then, the book has sparked a movement and has been reprinted and passed hand to hand to a wide variety of cultures and peoples.
In Tennessee, The Way to Happiness Association works with communities and neighborhoods to spread the booklet to as many people as possible. Organizers say that when the booklet is passed from hand to hand, it is like oil spread upon a raging sea, the calm flows outward and outward.
The Tennessee Association launched its campaign to distribute the booklet in 2009. Since that time, the group has visited local health fairs, festivals and community gatherings. It is currently planning for events throughout the summer. Recently, the organization has distributed hundreds of booklets at a neighborhood event hosted by the police at Midtown Hills in Nashville. Coming up this weekend is the Peace Festival hosted by Unity Church, where people of various races, ethnicities and religions will gather to form a human made peace symbol. This is the third year in a row that TWTH-TN has participated at this event.
"This book spreads a calmness that is unparalleled by anything else. It contains common sense moral messages that anyone can agree with and apply," says Rev. Brian Fesler, the regional coordinator for the program.
The Way to Happiness booklet details 21 precepts predicated on the fact that one's survival depends on the survival of others. According to thewaytohappiness.org, "This code of conduct can be followed by anyone, of any race, color or creed and works to restore the bonds that unite humankind." The Way to Happiness aims at giving people back a sense of what is right and wrong in a way that is easy to understand. In the three decades since it was authored, some 80 million copies of the book passed hand to hand.
