UN Adopts International Day of Happiness

By Christopher Buccafusco


Mark your calendars for March 20th – the new International Day of Happiness. The United Nations has chosen this date recognize the importance of happiness to people’s lives.
 
According to Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, President of the UN General Assembly, “I believe that the proclamation of an international day of happiness by the General Assembly to be observed over a year with full participation of the international community as a whole would be a forward looking way of focusing on the value of happiness as a universal goal and aspiration on the lives of all.”

Take a look at my writing on the importance of happiness to human life and the law.
