The Way to Happiness Association of Tennessee Reaches Out to Neighbors

 


The Way to Happiness, a book written by humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard in the early 1980s, 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. In the three decades since it was authored, more than 115 million copies of the book passed hand to hand, thus inspiring the international movement which is spreading throughout Nashville, TN.

 

Since the beginning of 2023, volunteers have taken to the streets and parks of Nashville to continue distributing booklets to help people learn the concepts contained within the common-sense moral code and uplift communities.

 

Most recently, volunteers distributed dozens upon dozens of the booklet to neighbors during community events in a suburb of Nashville, and are already planning the next outing.

 

Mr. Hubbard begins the book with these words: “Your survival is important to me.” He goes on to say, “You are important to other people. You are listened to. You can influence others. The happiness or unhappiness of others you could name is important to you. Without too much trouble, using this book, you can help them survive and lead happier lives.”

 

TWTH-TN is making a true impact across Tennessee and reaching other parts of the world. To learn more about the program, or to order copies of The Way to Happiness booklet, visit twthtn.org.

Drug-Free Tennessee Races to Tell Kids the Truth

 Drug-Free Tennessee helps people, especially young people, learn the disastrous effects of drugs before it’s too late. 

 

Drug-Free Tennessee (DFT) has been helping people learn the truth about drugs since 2009 with events, seminars, online media and directly contacting people with informational materials. In response to the increase of drug overdoses in Tennessee every year since 2015, DFT has been active in spreading awareness of the deadly consequences of taking drugs.

 

Recently volunteers traveled to Spring Hill, Tennessee to hand out materials to youth, parents and educators at a middle school’s 5K and fun run.

 

Julie Brinker, Drug-Free Tennessee spokesperson, said, “Now more than ever is the time to help our friends and neighbors learn the truth about drugs. They are deadly, and people have a right to know what they are getting into before it’s too late.”

 

Drug-Free Tennessee shares resources in person at events and online at drugfreetn.org with audio-visual messages and videos aimed at helping people steer clear of drug abuse and addiction. The organization has also long offered virtual learning resources and free materials to all educators wanting to help people learn the truth about drugs. Resources are available free of charge through drugfreeworld.org.

 

Drug-Free Tennessee distributes the Truth About Drugs booklet, which cover all basic side effects of drugs, common street names, and how to recognize when you are being persuaded by a dealer. DFT also has a range of award winning Public Service Announcements and an award winning feature length documentary detailing the dangers of drugs and addiction.
