Founded: August 1998

Purpose: The Secret Society of Happy People encourages the expression of happiness and discourages parade-raining. Parade-rainers are those people who don’t want to hear your happy news.

Mission: To help people recognize more happiness and encourage them to talk about it.
Side-effect: Since happiness is contagious if more people are recognizing and talking about it then more people be happy. And ultimately, our world needs more happy people.

Motto: If you're happy and you know it ... tell somebody! If someone else is happy and they know it ... listen!

Members: Thousands from at least 34 countries.
Happy Challenge
The Society's Happy Challenge
  • The Secret Society of Happy People challenges you to write down your happiest moment each day.
  • You can write it on a calendar, in your daytimer, in a journal, scrapbook, or anywhere else that makes you happy.
  • It can be a word, sentence, several paragraphs or memorabilia.
  • At the end of a year you'll be reminded of your 365 happiest moments.
  • If you get a happy block check out the Thirty-One Types of Happiness.
  • Some days your happiness will arrive in the least expected form.
  • It might be borrowing someone else's happy moment, relief because something didn't happen, satisfaction from accomplishing a goal--cleaning out your closet, finishing a work project and on and on.
  • An alternative for kids is to have them draw a picture of their happy moment.
  • Put the pictures in a Happy Moments notebook. It'll become a nostalgic keepsake.
