Happiness isn’t just something you feel—it’s something you create. And when you do, the ripple effects are endless. This isn’t just a book, a workshop, or a passing trend—it’s a movement, and we’re just getting started. From interactive events to media highlights and real-life stories, The Happiness Experiment proves one thing: intentional joy is contagious. Ready to participate?

Nothing brings me more joy than hearing how people are using The Happiness Experiment to make real, lasting changes in their lives. Here are just a few stories from this growing movement:

Instead of waiting to donate millions posthumously, he used pre-quests to support his employees’ dreams—and found his own happiness skyrocketed in the process.

A fifth-grade teacher started a “gratitude grants” challenge with her students, proving that even $5 and a good idea can change lives.
