The Way To Happiness Chicago
Serving the Greater Chicago Area and Beyond
The Way To Happiness is a non-religious, 21-step moral code created in 1981 to foster integrity, respect, and community wellbeing. As part of an international network founded by the Way To Happiness Foundation International, the Chicago branch brings these values to local families, schools, first responders, and civic groups.
