Action for Happiness is a global movement of people taking action to create a happier and kinder world. We share tips for happiness in a monthly calendar, which you can view here.
ABOUT ACTION FOR HAPPINESS
We all want to live happy and fulfilling lives, and we want the people we love to be happy too. So happiness matters to all of us.
Happiness is about our lives as a whole: it includes the fluctuating feelings that we experience every day, but also our overall satisfaction with life.
Happiness is influenced by our genes, by our upbringing, and by our external circumstances. But crucially, it is also heavily influenced by our choices, our values, and our habits.
Join our events to learn more about best practices for happiness, and to share what works for you!❤️

How to find us:
- Look at the photo. See the 1 and the red X? That means that your first step is to find that building in East Village (610 8 Ave SE, which is 1 block east of the Central Library). The door will be locked.
- To be let into the building, you have to push the buzzer on the right side of the door (the red X).
- There will be a double set of glass doors, with some steps in the back. Walk up to the steps, and then go left (step 2).
- Step 3 is the elevator. The arrow is pointing to an elevator, which is hidden around the corner when you first walk in. Push 2, because Carya is on the second floor. There is a rainbow-coloured Carya sticker next to the correct button inside the elevator.
