Position Paper ― Instituting a Ministry Of Happiness (MOH)and a Minister Of Happiness (MOH)as Core Leadership Initiatives

PREAMBLE: This ‘Position Paper’ sets forth that ‘happiness’ can ensure the survival of humankind, but ‘unhappiness’ threatens human survival as a viable species. ‘Unhappiness’ manifests all forms of disruptive behaviors by the humankind, underpinned by nationalism, politics, religion, race, color, culture, social, and economic bifurcation. The paper states further that happiness can transform —positively, the behaviors and lives of people for the betterment of humanity.

For happiness to achieve its ‘goals of transformation,’ it would be essential to institute a Ministry of Happiness (MOH)1 and a Minister of Happiness (MOH)2 as critical leadership initiatives for nations (1,2 with similar mandates, policy directives, measures, and performance audits as other ministries of government). The paper does not include the criteria, or the mechanics for the implementation, which will vary according to the functioning of each country.

ARE THERE “SECRETS” TO HAPPINESS?

ARE THERE “SECRETS” TO HAPPINESS?

“Are there Secrets to Happiness?” What is it to be happy, or to live a happy and successful life? Is it having money, getting married, becoming a mother, having good health, living in a mansion, or receiving a postgraduate degree? The only question that is more investigative is “What is happiness?” There have been many books written concerning ‘happiness’ and attempting to define the ‘secret’ to happiness, or suggesting how to achieve it. Whether scientific or non-scientific we have discovered that there is not a single (universal) definition, key, or secret to happiness.

VISIONS OF A HAPPY LIFE

Marjorie and I live “Optimum Happy” (OH) lives, but that does not imply that we have great wealth, live in a mansion, drive exotic automobiles, or socialize with prominent figures in society. Our perspective on happiness means a commitment to God, marriage, children, family, and friends; likewise, to recognize, acknowledge, and embrace the “oneness” of the human family, our “interdependence,” as the ultimate key to happiness.

Happiness means to discover one’s genius, which is to determine one’s highest capability and develop it to the “Optimum.” Happiness means to understand that all people have a common desire for universal love, fairness, and justice. Happiness means to listen to and empathize with others who live in fear and suffer anxiety. Happiness means generosity of spirit. Marjorie and I introduce Discovering Your Optimum Happiness Index (OHI) as our vision of a happy life to the world, to engage people, in a global dialogue about the inherent benefits to happiness.
