Happiness: Spread The Word!

I understand that the world's first membership organisation dedicated specifically to spreading happiness has been officially launched. A recent report in the press and on the BBC told us about Action for Happiness, an international movement claiming 4,500 members in over 60 countries. It recently launched in London, giving out tips on how to be happier.

The movement was founded last year by Richard Layard, who is a Labour peer and professor of economics at the London School of Economics; Geoff Mulgan, chief executive of The Young Foundation; and Anthony Seldon, master of Wellington College. It claims to have no commercial, political or religious affiliations.

"If we want a happier society, individuals have got to create more happiness in the world around them," said Lord Layard. "This is a movement for radical cultural change which can provide the basis for a better culture in the 21st century."

Are you somewhat sad and wish that you were happy...? :)
