Scientology Network Celebrates International Day of Happiness with Global Marathon
The Californer/10342569

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Scientology Network joined in celebrating the United Nations International Day of Happiness with a special TV marathon showcasing The Way to Happiness and its impact across the globe. Established in 2013, the day highlights the vital role happiness plays in the well-being of societies.

Today, 83 percent of the world's population lives in conditions of high criminality, while reports of misconduct in workplaces have reached record levels. These and other societal challenges point to a common underlying problem: a decline in moral values and ethical standards.

The marathon spotlights the profound changes The Way to Happiness is bringing to communities and nations. Featured in the marathon are Catalina Maldonado, uplifting Ecuador through her transformative work; Antónia and Ferenc Novák, restoring moral values among Hungary's youth; and Pastor Jeffrey Mack, whose community work and distribution of The Way to Happiness in Miami's Liberty City neighborhood helped contribute to the area's lowest recorded homicide rate.
