Who Wrote The Way to Happiness?

The Way to Happiness was written by author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. In 1972, Mr. Hubbard returned to the United States after a 12-year absence to discover that crime had risen more than 500 percent since his departure in 1960. Teenage suicide rates had increased by 200 percent over the same period. “Reading the papers and wandering around in the society, it was pretty obvious that honesty and truth were not being held up to the same standards they once had,” he wrote. “People and even little kids in schools have gotten the idea that high moral standards are a thing of the past.”

To address this moral and ethical decline, he began to research how a society veers down the dwindling spiral of degradation and, more importantly, what one could do to reverse such a trend and replace contention with compassion and decency.

His answer was The Way to Happiness, a non-religious booklet of short essays on 21 common sense precepts that can guide people to a happier life.
