In the face of the conflict which kept the Balkans in turmoil and war throughout the early and mid-1990s, The Way To Happiness International supported the distribution of more than 300,000 copies of the booklet. The responses were consistently favorable, with recognition that the principles in the booklet provide a way out of the centuries-old conflict.

“I want to give my sincere thanks for the seminars given to the 180 police officers covering the 21 precepts of ethics and morals from The Way to Happiness book. These seminars have given us a good lesson and an understanding of the importance of being a police officer—which means setting a good example for the community and society.”
Commander of the Metropolitan Police, Bogota, Colombia

“I am a Vietnam veteran. In Overtown, a predominantly black, lower income area of Miami with a high crime rate, we had many teenagers hanging out on the street corners, and one large housing project where the police were a regular feature, every day. When I sat in on a few The Way to Happiness Club meetings, I knew that The Way to Happiness could help my community, so I took some to pass out to the teenagers and to the entire housing project.

“After I had handed out more than one thousand booklets, I noticed some positive changes, like the police were not coming around every day and I didn’t see the teenagers hanging out on the street corner like they used to. Then, last week, the Miami Herald had this headline:
OVERTOWN CRIME RATE DOWN — ECONOMY UP.”

“Your interest and care for the welfare of the taxi drivers and their passengers is very much appreciated. We see The Way to Happiness as a solution to the violence that is currently on-going in our industry. After reading the book we realised that this is the exact tool we need to give the taxi drivers a commonsense guide to a safer existence for themselves and their passengers. As this booklet is non-religious and non-political it is acceptable by all our drivers.”
