The Church's campaign is centered around The Way to Happiness, a book by L. Ron Hubbard which is comprised of 21 precepts, each one predicated on the fact that one's survival depends on the survival of others—and that without the survival of others, neither joy nor happiness are attainable. In the two decades since it was authored, some 80 million copies of the book passed hand to hand, thus inspiring the international movement which has found its way to Nashville, TN.

The approach is versatile and inexpensive enough that it could be applied to ...
