The Way to Happiness Association of Tennessee Launches Community-Wide Booklet Distribution for International Friendship Day

Nashville-area volunteers to distribute "The Way to Happiness" booklets across local neighborhoods on August 1st

Nashville, TN, 18th July 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, The Way to Happiness Association of Tennessee (TWTH-TN) today announced a community-wide effort to bring copies of the internationally recognized common-sense moral code, The Way to Happiness, to neighborhoods in Nashville in celebration of Friendship Day weekend. The event is scheduled for Saturday, August 1st, and will bring together volunteers, community members, and local organizations for a coordinated, door-to-door, and public-space distribution of the booklet.

International Friendship Day is observed around the world as a time to recognize the role that friendship plays in building peace, understanding, and goodwill between people of different backgrounds. TWTH-TN sees the occasion as a natural fit for spreading The Way to Happiness, a non-religious, non-political booklet made up of 21 straightforward precepts that offer practical guidance for how individuals can be better friends, neighbors, and members of their community.

"Friendship is one of the simplest and most powerful tools we have for creating a safer, saner community," said a spokesperson for The Way to Happiness Association of Tennessee. "This booklet has been used successfully by individuals and groups all over the world to help rebuild trust and connection between people. Friendship Day gives us the perfect opportunity to put these ideas directly into the hands of our neighbors."

Several precepts from the booklet speak directly to the values of friendship, trust, and mutual support that the day is meant to celebrate, including:

• Be Worthy of Trust — a reminder that strong friendships are built on reliability and honesty.

• Set a Good Example — encouraging people to lead the way for others through their own actions.

• Try to Treat Others as You Would Want Them to Treat You -- a modern positive golden rule. 

Organizers say the goal of the August 1st effort is not only to hand out booklets, but to spark conversations between neighbors about what it means to be a good friend and a supportive presence in the community.
