About Us    |    About the Founder    |    Contact
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. And no, we don't tell people to be happy if they aren't or how to be happy.

Mission: To help you create a happier lifestyle.

Motto: If you're happy and you know it ... tell somebody!

Members: Thousands from around the world.

Happy Reading

When we asked for happy book recommendations for HappyThon 09 we got lots of recommendations from members, authors, and publishers. Unfortunately I have not had time to personally read all of the suggested books yet. If it’s a Society founder favorite, look for the Favorite!. However, that does not mean that the other books will not increase your happiness. So read, read, read!!!
