Welcome to the World's First (and only), Television Program Entirely About HAPPINESS!

Aristotle considered happiness "The Highest Good." According to scientists, it's our most basic human motivation. In survey after survey, we rank happiness as our number one goal in life. So, why is our world's level of happiness under 65 percent? Why do Americans, the 16th happiest people in the world, rate their happiness at only 69 percent, and report feeling happy only 54 percent of each day?

As our Happiness Increase Experiments page shows, the good news is that with a little effort, the average person can become 25% happier in from two to six weeks.

The Happiness Show was reviewed by The New York Times, and cited in American Scholar.

Created and produced by George Ortega, THE HAPPINESS SHOW premiered May 1st. 2003, on White Plains, New York, Cable Channel 76. The episodes have also appeared on cable TV stations in San Francisco and Herkimer County, New York. They are now shown in most of Fairfield County, Connecticut, and are occasionally presented in far away places like New South Wales, Australia.

Humankind's Age of Happiness
by George Ortega

This short treatise will show how over the past 50 years, humanity has amassed a body of scientific knowledge about happiness that our world can now use to relatively easily and inexpensively lift our global happiness from its current level of under 65% to a much happier 85% or higher within a decade. This achievement will be tantamount to the creation of a new historic Age of Human Happiness.

Happiness studies date back as far as 1930 when Goodwin Watson published a paper called "Happiness Among Adult Students of Education," It was not until 1957, however, that a true science of happiness began. In that year, Alden E. Wessman published his doctoral dissertation titled "A Psychological Inquiry Into Satisfactions and Happiness." An increasing number of published studies on happiness followed throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

In the mid '70s, Michael Fordyce, a professor from Fort Myers, Florida, concluded that the science of happiness had collected enough consistent data to justify a giant leap forward. Predicting that individuals could be taught to become much happier though classroom instruction based on happiness research findings, Fordyce conducted the world's first happiness-increase experiment. His "Development of a Program to Increase Personal Happiness," published in 1977 in The Journal of Counseling Psychology, demonstrated conclusively that by receiving a few weeks of instruction, individuals could become much happier.

Because of its significance to humankind's highest goal of happiness, this pioneering study is destined to rank among the most important scientific works of all time. Michael Fordyce created a distinct field of "Happiness-Increase Psychology" that is the most effective and direct means humankind has yet developed to achieve what English philosopher Jeremy Bentham described in 1769 as "the greatest happiness of the greatest number."

Thirty years after Fordyce developed his powerful happiness-increase program, our world is experiencing an historic epiphany regarding the primacy happiness holds in our lives, both as individuals and as a global society. In 1998, Martin Seligman, then president of the American Psychological Association, founded the Positive Psychology movement whose research focus revives a long dormant recognition going back to the A.P.A.'s first president, Raymond Dodge, that "happiness is an important, if not the most important, aim of human endeavor." With this enormously popular redirection in psychology, a new generation of researchers led by Sonja Lyubomirsky has emerged to advance the happiness-increase interventions that Fordyce pioneered.

Recognizing that this renaissance in happiness research was destined to create a wide consumer demand for happiness, from 2003-05, Seligman and his colleague, Ben Dean, trained about 1,000 individuals to market one-to-one happiness coaching. Also in 2003, the author of this treatise created the world's first television program entirely about happiness; The Happiness Show. To disseminate happiness information as widely as possible, he has made virtually all of its over 130 half-hour episodes available for free digital download and free broadcast by television stations throughout in the world.

Highlighting the public's new interest in happiness, on January 17, 2005, Time magazine published a cover story on "The New Science of Happiness" that spanned 64 pages, and became the magazine's most requested back issue. In a world dominated by an insatiable quest for wealth, the preeminent role of happiness in our lives is also being forcefully promoted by top economists and business leaders. In 2005, Sir Richard Layard, founder of Europe's leading economic institution, The London School of Economics' Centre for Economic Performance, published a book titled Happiness gWww Loveofmoneyisrootofallprosperity Documentos RR2006 09 Pdf Happiness Finding Happiness Life Happiness Happiness Quotes Happiness Richard Layard Money Make You Happy Happiness Layard Can Buy Happiness Money Makes You Happy Money Happy The Happiness Show - Subjective Well-Being Informations y You Layard Finding iWww Loveofmoneyisrootofallprosperity Documentos RR2006 09 Pdf Happiness Finding Happiness Life Happiness Happiness Quotes Happiness Richard Layard Money Make You Happy Happiness Layard Can Buy Happiness Money Makes You Happy Money Happy The Happiness Show - Subjective Well-Being Informationx z Richard Happiness
