Personal Happiness Handbook - a hit

December 21 was the darkest day of the year. It was also the day The Happiness Initiative issued the Personal Happiness Handbook. It was a gift to all those who have taken the Gross National Happiness Index.  In less than 5 days, over 1,000 people viewed it.  It is one thing to give a gift - makes one feel good. Another thing when it is appreciated.  Makes one feel really good.
You can view it (and download it) on our slideshare account:

Two of the trained Happiness Initiative leaders (they took the Happiness Initiative Leadership Course) are using the Personal Happiness Handbook for their happiness initiative.

Thank you to Mika for her excellent work.

Mike Roberts, a sustainability advocate and long time activist in community in Maine used the Personal Happiness Handbook for a balanced life using the Medicine Wheel.
