THE NEW HAPPY IS DEVOTED TO A SIMPLE, WORLD-CHANGING IDEA
that the pursuit of the greatest happiness for all being is the secret to our individual happiness and to changing the world for the better.
Old Happy
Our world tells us that happiness is something that results from achieving something, winning something, looking a certain way, filling our lives with material objects, and ultimately pursuing the fulfillment of our external needs.
We call this Old Happy. It is a model for living that ultimately doesn’t serve you, the people in your life, or our world.
Old Happy has many manifestations, but some that you might recognize are:
Being unhappy despite having everything you have worked very hard for
Believing that something outside of you will make you happy: a job, a new car, a new apartment, a new partner, a new toy…
Pursuing something that we believe will make us happy (such as wealth or power) and in the process, end up pursuing the means for their own sake
Believing that happiness comes when you fulfill your desires
Our society has led us down an unhelpful path with these false beliefs. It’s time for a new way of living, one that serves our true happiness and that of those around us.
We call this New Happy.
What IS NEW HAPPY?
New Happy is the pursuit of the greatest happiness for all beings everywhere (that includes you!)
Our mission is to help you cultivate New Happy in your own life so that you might become immensely happy and also serve other people in your life and the world around you. It might sound like a far-off philosophical ideal, but our goal is to show you easy, simple, and meaningful ways to bring it to life in your own life.
Everyone wants to be happy. And everyone wants to help make a difference to others. We’re here to make it easy and joyful to pursue both.
