Project Happiness – Impact on a Global Scale

Countries in shades of orange have active Project Happiness programs.

Here at Project Happiness, we are constantly moving forward on to the next project, the next event. This week, we took a moment to reflect on our impact and we were astounded. At the time of this writing, Project Happiness programs have touched 48 states and 50 countries! This is compared to 15 states and 6 countries that we were in at this time last year. We have made the film with Spanish subtitles and soon all of our curriculum will also be available in Spanish. Our goal for this year is to expand our offerings to reach people in all countries in their native languages.

We are truly grateful to all of the educators, parents and administrators who have been so helpful in implementing Project Happiness. It is only through the cooperation of all of you that we are able to continue to do the work that we do, to make a difference. But this is just the beginning! We need your help to expand into more schools, to partner with more NGOs and to work with people everywhere so we can make a systemic change to get this very important information to people everywhere. Today, 48 states and 50 countries, next year… WORLD HAPPINESS DOMINATION!

Our Programs

Seven Doors to Happiness – For Everyone

Seven Doors to Happiness is an online foundations course that takes you on a journey to explore your own path to happiness. The curriculum has been created to offer parents, grandparents, athletic coaches, retired teachers, therapists, or anyone interested in enhancing their personal happiness a detailed, interactive experience to expand their own happiness and that of the people around them.

Classroom Resources – For Educators

Educators can incorporate helpful and pertinent social and emotional learning (SEL) lessons into day to day instruction, through detailed lesson plans and emotional resilience building activities. Topics include teacher training in anti-bullying techniques and mindfulness for both students and teachers.

Visionary Leadership Initiative – For Students

Not everyone can be student body president, head cheerleader, or captain of the football team, but everyone can make a difference. Students will learn how to make a lasting impression on those around them by developing leadership skills, while competing for prizes, joining in group activities, and making a name for themselves and for their school. Warning: Friendships May Deepen.

Our Film

The Dalai Lama, George Lucas, Richard Gere, neuroscientist Richard Davidson – all answer this question: “How does one achieve lasting Happiness?”. How will you answer it?

Participants’ Voices

“I enjoyed Project Happiness because it allowed me to reflect upon my thoughts and notice how I am built emotionally. It helped me understand myself so that I could become a more positive person.”

“Recently I went through an anger stage, and I just stepped back, took a deep breath, and realized that it wasn’t worth getting upset over the situation. Project Happiness taught me the tools to do that. Thank you for everything!”

“I couldn’t be more happier to realize who I am and what I represent and that I shouldn’t be afraid to be myself or be different than my friends, that being different makes me unique.”

“I just wanted to tell you that this work is honest, and incredibly meaningful and helps people like me believe that there is hope. (Especially during those times when I feel all hope is lost.)”
