It gives me the idea of contemporary life in difficult modern circumstances. This book will be very helpful for Russian people; it will help them to believe in themselves, to find a support. It’s very important for people to survive in today’s awful conditions. They have to believe in themselves. I am sure The Way to Happiness will help.” —D.G., Moscow, Russia

“This little book is a moral and ethical miracle that we will drop in the middle of our society so that its message can be transmitted to all social layers and every corner of our homeland. It is not a religious or political message but it is a universal message. In all parts of our country we find passions, selfishness and ambitions tending to take us away from the way to happiness.

And we wouldn’t be fighting this bloody war.” —H.O., Former Minister of Interior, Republic of Colombia

We appreciate your initiative in sharing with us The Way to Happiness books during your visit to our program. Likewise, the same materials [have been] endorsed as [the] resource in our learning center. Precepts of the book were made as our resource in making our learning curriculum on values.
