The film is finally here!!! We are so grateful to the California Film Institute which organized a memorable Northern California event... sold out with over 300 people attending!  :)  

 

We would also like to thank all of you who attended and participated in such a lively Q and A and book-signing 

afterwards. 

We were truly overwhelmed with the response! This is the first of many upcoming events to remind us that we all have the power to awaken and ignite our own happiness, which touches more people than we can begin to realize. It's a dream come true to have this film out there for everyone to see.

 

Happiness is truly CONTAGIOUS!! 

 

With love and gratitude,

 

Randy

Project Happiness Goes Collegiate

CalTech LogoProject Happiness is thrilled to announce that we are now affiliated with three of California's most prestigious universities - Stanford University, the University of Southern California and the California Institute of Technology.  At USC, Project Happiness will be featured in the lab requirements for the Science of Happiness Curriculum.  At CalTech, the film is going to be part of the mandatory orientation program for all new students and the Project Happiness curriculum is the basis for a happiness series in their emotional well-being series.  FInally, while we have a long-standing association with Stanford, we are so pleased to announce an official pilot program where our materials are being used as a resource for the Peer Health Educators and our book is part of the happiness class.

 

Project Happiness is sweeping the state and is now ready to sweep the nation.  If you would like to bring the Project Happiness curriculum to your university, contact kavita@projecthappiness.com.
