Scientology is Restoring Moral Values and Integrity with The Way to Happiness
July 5, 2007 — ppedersenScientology is Restoring Moral Values and Integrity with The Way to Happiness
Among the many effective solutions provided by the Church of Scientology in today’s world is based on a book by L. Ron Hubbard called The Way to Happiness. The Way to Happiness is a common sense to better living.
L. Ron Hubbard wrote this book so people could help one another and in doing so help handle the problem of declining morals in society. Life in an immoral society can be more than simply difficult.
Beneath the many differences of national, political, racial and religious or other hue, each of us as individuals must make our way through life. Such a way can be made better if those around us have and use some common sense guidelines for living like those contained in The Way To Happiness book and listed here.
- Take care of yourself.
- Be temperate.
- Do not take harmful drugs. Do not take alcohol to excess.
- Love and help children.
- Honor and help your parents.
- Set a good example.
- Seek to live with the truth.
- Do not murder.
- Don’t do anything illegal.
- Support a government designed and run for all the people.
- Do not harm a person of good will.
- Safeguard and improve your environment.
- Do not steal.
- Be worthy of trust.
- Fulfill your obligations.
- Be industrious.
- Be competent.
- Respect the religious beliefs of others.
- Try not to do things to others that you would not like them to do to you.
- Try to treat others as you would want them to treat you.
- Flourish and prosper.
Loudly applauded by community and civic groups around the world, The Way To Happiness book is being passed by hand on city streets, offered by local businesses and banks and police as well as by children involved in the Children’s Set A Good Example Campaign.

With this book, Scientologists and non-Scientologists have started a world-wide campaign to spread this booklet. See The Way to Happiness - Middle East Peace Campaign Update and The Way to Happiness Campaign in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Nancy Cartwright with Kids Promoting The Way to Happiness
Additionally, various celebrities such as Isaac Hayes, Nancy Cartwright and Lynsey Bartilson personally have taken actions to promote this book. For example, with a personalized cover for The Way to Happiness, soul legend Isaac Hayes spreads The Way to Happiness campaign in the Buffalo Community. See “The Way to Happiness Campaign Takes Aim at Violence and Crime in Buffalo.”
The Church of Scientology of Buffalo, “Stop the Violence Coalition”, “Peace, Inc.”, “Healing Tree Ministries” and “Evangelistic Deliverance Holy Ministries” came together at the Healing Tree Ministries Church to not only launch distribution of the book throughout the East Side, but also to rally the resources needed to help the Healing Tree Ministries paint their building.
The 21 precepts of The Way to Happiness may be likened to the edges of a road. “Violating them, one is like the motorist who plunges onto the verge — the result can be wreckage of the moment, the relationship, a life,” writes the author. And while only the individual himself may decide where to draw the road map of his life, for his goals are wholly his own, if he knows how to stay on that road, it becomes a smooth and fast highway.
To discover further facts about Scientology’s grassroots campaign to restore values, you may want to visit: http://www.moral-values.org. You can also read the brochure featured on that website, called “Scientology Effective Solutions: Teaching Trust, Honesty and Self-Respect,” which is also available in Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish.
As L. Ron Hubbard writes in the introduction:
“You are important to other people. You are listened to. You can influence others.
“The happiness or unhappiness of others you could name is important to you.
“Without too much trouble, using this book, you can help them survive and lead happier lives.
“While no one can guarantee that anyone else can be happy, their chances of survival and happiness can be improved. And with theirs, yours will be.
“It is in your power to point the way to a less dangerous and happier life.“

One of the greatest aspects to this campaign is the number of languages that the booklet is in, which is over 90! See my earlier blog entry on this at: The Way to Happiness Booklet in Over 90 Languages
To make this campaign even more impressive, creative and fun, several Public Service announcements so far have been produced for three of the 21 precepts covered in the book. Check out these videos. They will blow you away!
