—The Way to Happiness

Loudly applauded by community and civic groups around the world, The Way To Happiness book is being passed by hand on city streets, offered by local businesses and banks and police as well as by children involved in the Children's Set A Good Example Campaign.

After he wrote this book, L. Ron Hubbard said, "I could at least do this about it: start a grass-roots campaign and fad ... " He also said, "So you—yes, you my friend—have a gift that YOU can give to the world. You, you personally, can do something about the way things are! Just agree it is your gift to give. And give it."
