The Way to Happiness participated alongside other non-profit organizations in the community to help spread knowledge and awareness about health and happiness this weekend in the Edgehill community.
Neighbors are fighting against lethargy and depression with Health and Happiness Day. “The purpose of Health and Happiness Day was to bring The Way to Happiness to communities in Nashville and educate residents,” says Rev. Brian Fesler who coordinates the local chapter of The Way to Happiness. The day included distribution of The Way To Happiness booklet to over 750 area resdidents, and a seminar by the local Chapter. Blood pressure screenings and information about the community garden as well.
The Way to Happiness is an international campaign for better living centered around the book of the same name by L. Ron Hubbard. It is comprised of 21 precepts which point out that one’s survival depends on the survival of others—without the survival of others, neither joy nor happiness is attainable. The book has inspired an international movement with over 95 million copies passed hand to hand in over 180 countries and territories, in more than 100 languages.
“The first thing the book teaches you is you have to take care of yourself,” says Rev. Fesler. “People came out, had some fun, and went home better off,”
