Tell Everyone about the United Nations International Day of Happiness is the first step in the Ten Steps To Global Happiness. The International Day of Happiness was created based on democratic values, ideals, and the principle of “We the people,” and is a gift to all of humanity, promoting a worldwide, natural, and organic celebration of happiness for all 8 billion members of the global human family.

Tell everyone.

Step 3 emphasizes that giving, benevolence, and service to others are known worldwide as fundamental keys to happiness.

9. Enjoy Nature.

Step 9 is to get outside, enjoy nature, and connect with the environment. Some ideas are going for a hike, going to the park, visiting lakes and natural sites to get in touch with nature. Research studies from around the world have proven that spending time with nature increases happiness and well-being levels.

10. Adopt Happytalism.

Step 10 is to adopt and spread a more holistic, inclusive, equitable, and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes sustainable development, poverty eradication, happiness, and the wellbeing of all peoples – such as Happytalism – to advance happiness as a fundamental human right and goal, to achieve the global goals for sustainable development, and ultimately, the happiness, wellbeing, and freedom of all life on earth.
