Happiness Happens Month

In response to the U.S. Surgeon General’s recent advisory about Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation, the theme for the Society of Happy People’s 23rd Happiness Happens Month is taking a Hometown Adventure. Pamela Gail Johnson, founder of the Society of Happy People, wants everyone to take at least one Hometown Adventure in August to celebrate happiness, social connections, and community. Venture out to one of your favorite hometown places or find a new place that makes you smile.

“Happiness Happens on Hometown Adventures,” says Society Founder and Practical Happiness: Four Principles to Improve Your Life author Pamela Gail Johnson. “The first Practical Happiness Principle is Happiness is Personal, and there’s nothing more personal than the places in your hometown that make you happy.”

This year celebrating Happiness Happens Month is fun, simple, and easy:
