I have been giving The Way to Happiness to friends and to shipmates who ask. I continually receive comments like "I liked chapter X very much!" When requested, I use the booklet in counseling with very good results. Thank you for a guide that enables servicemen and women to regain personal integrity and self-respect.

I was impressed with its organization and content. I would like to use them when counseling some discouraged parents and at risk teenagers.

Your booklet was circulated amongst our guidance counselors and we found it to be a simple, straightforward and positive presentation of ideas.
B.A., Head of Guidance, Dr. J.D., Ontario
In reviewing The Way to Happiness, I was much delighted at the basic, simple truths which it was able to put forth. I could see it being a valuable tool in promoting positive attitudes and views in the lives of our youth.
Executive Director, Youth Group
This is a book filled with thought-provoking quotations and I was pleased to receive it.
United States Senator
As I read through parts of your book, I was struck by the message of honesty. I believe it is an important message for the children of today, as well as the idea of learning by the lessons of the previous generations. Good luck in your campaign.

Downtrend in crime statistics The crime statistics for major crime in this area have been considerably down for each of the first four months of the year. I know that the distribution of over 16,000 The Way to Happiness booklets has had a lot to do with this. With the tool of The Way to Happiness we are winning and will have a final victory over the degradation that surrounds us.
M. H., Director Los Angeles, California
The Way to Happiness is a very unique booklet. It is interesting and should be given to people we love. As a matter of fact, anyone could benefit by reading it.
City Councilman, Los Angeles
I found your publication, The Way to Happiness, most interesting and useful to me. It shows that value instruction can be broad based and without religious bias.
B.L., Assemblyman, California Legislature

F. P., Mayor, Colorado
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for informing me of this valuable tool you are using to educate our children with regards to the harmful effects of drugs, as well as making them aware of the understanding between right and wrong in today's society.
Dr. M.A., Commissioner, Florida
I certainly enjoyed reading it; and I found it be very insightful.
J. J., U. S. Senator
We think the concept is very good. Our town has a serious drug problem and maybe using this book, if it can be distributed to citizens of Cheneyville, may help in solving this problem.
C. T., Police Department
My first inclination was to disregard it as Religious Propaganda. In glancing through it I was motivated to read it in its entirety. It turned out to be, as published, a "First Non-Religious Moral Code based wholly on common sense." If the statements made could be adhered to by all people, especially their leaders, peace and tranquility would cover the earth.
B. D., City Councilman
I agree it has a great deal of value in dealing with the problems associated with our "troubled youth". I have enjoyed reading the booklet. It has many positive and worthwhile statements. Actually it is quite similar to the message of the Ten Commandments. The formula for a happy, productive life can be found in the Bible. Your efforts are to be commended in guiding our youth to a more productive way of life.
F. S., City Mayor
Your organization is to be commended for sending over 40,000 copies of the booklet to the troops in the Persian Gulf. In this time of war, it is vital that the troops maintain a positive attitude.
United States Representative, Illinois
I commend you on your effort to show the various cultures of the world to live in harmony. I look forward to the day when we all follow the principles that your book outlines.
JJ, United States Senator
It is a wonderful edition and very valuable to our moral standards as well as to the future of our children.
JT., State Governor
We've had a very good response from the people in our community since distributing The Way to Happiness – many people (dozens) have called and asked for more copies to share with friends, some going as far away as Mexico and Guatemala with the books.
At my sister's housing project there were a lot of problems between tenants, disputes, lack of respect and a LOT of crime. I told the building manager about the books, and then she gave them out at the monthly tenants meeting.
She told me that as a result she noticed a significant change in the way they were treating each other – it was a very positive change. And the crime rate was going down too. This was from the book.
We have some children of teenage years and younger in our neighborhood who were having a lot of fights, name calling, picking on each other, causing a lot of animosity – it got totally out of hand.
I gave them the books and I saw their whole attitude change – they were no longer fighting, instead they started to work together – they started a soccer team, and a basketball team, and started being friends again.
These are very definite results I have personally seen, and there are more. Thank you very much for the books, which we are using to improve our community!!

I am the Family Support Coordinator for 8,000 Alabama National Guardsman and women of which 4,000 were sent to Saudi Arabia.
The Titles are great and the message understandable for the reader. The footnotes help for clarification and the basic message is calming.
We will distribute these through the family support groups then send them to the family's homes.
Our HQ services about 21,000 Guardsmen and 10,000 reservists in our area. We thank you for your consideration of our needs.
D. M., MSW Family Spt Coordinator
AFDW plays a very strong role in the fight against drugs in the National Capital Region (NCR). We have a substance abuse program that is presented in schools throughout MD, VA, and D.C.
The material in your booklet supports our efforts in providing role models, guidance, and education to our civilian and military families. The booklet covers all the important facets of life, from living with the truth to prospering. It is an excellent guide for the young and old.
