Humanity Programs

Here’s an update on The Humanity Project that’s well worth reading: Our organization is developing new programs to help you learn how to live more happily. We’re talking about specific, step-by-step methods that we will post on this website and make available to anyone at no cost. We think that’s exciting news.

We’re just in the process of working out all the many details. Then we want to run our ideas past psychologists, chairmen of university psychology departments and others for their opinions. We’ll make adjustments based on their feedback. But we feel confident our new programs can help you lead a happier life. We’re also working on a special program just for kids. We’ve been in discussions with libraries and others about offering talks to children, live chats where we present this kids program in a fun, interactive way.

Because the whole idea of The Humanity Project is to teach a simple lesson that most of us haven’t learned: that our individual lives can be happier and more fulfilled if we learn to focus on service to other people. We want this to be a change in attitude, from a self-centered lifestyle to what we call a giving lifestyle. To us, this requires being fully the individual you truly are, then looking for ways to express that unique personality and experience, your talents and interests, as actions that help others. We want you to do this throughout each day. A giving lifestyle. Scientific research is proving that this approach helps us lead happier lives – and obviously it makes the world a much better place. Please join The Humanity Project! We need your help to teach this vital lesson!
