The Nashville chapter of The Way to Happiness Foundation distributed
booklets to the community of Sudekum this week.
“I think many people share a purpose to help others find
happiness,” says Rev. Brian Fesler who serves as regional coordinator for The
Way to Happiness Foundation’s Nashville Chapter. “What we do is distribute a
booklet with simple guidelines on how to be happy. It is easy to follow and
puts a person on the right path.”
The Way to Happiness Foundation was formed around the
book of the same name by L. Ron Hubbard. The Way To Happiness is comprised of
21 precepts, each one predicated on the fact that one’s survival depends on the
survival of others—and that without the survival of others, neither joy nor
happiness are attainable.
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
two decades since it was authored, some 80 million copies of the book passed
hand to hand.
The Nashville Chapter launched a campaign to distribute
copies of the booklet in 2009. Since that time, the group has volunteered in
local health fairs, festivals and community gatherings. Thousands of booklets have
been distributed. This past week the
chapter participated in a community event in the neighborhood of Sudekum where
they distributed booklets to residents.
Fesler says, “We want to help people everywhere. This
booklet was made for everyone so we are taking it to the people. Our goal is a
crime-free, healthy, happy community.”
