–L. Ron Hubbard

The Way to Happiness book may be the first non-religious moral code based wholly on common sense. It was written by L Ron Hubbard as an individual work and is not a part of any religious doctrine. It is therefore admissible for governments and employees to distribute it as a non-religious activity. The booklet has been distributed to thousands of businesses and government bodies around the world since 1984.
