Just keep smiling. They'll pick out the miserable ones and they won't be seen again in the future dystopia if this guy has his way?
8. Does Action for Happiness have a set of core beliefs?
Yes we do, although to be honest we're still working out the best way to articulate these. I find myself describing them as follows:
1."There's more to life than money and possessions". What matters most is our overall happiness – i.e. how good life is taking everything into account – including our inner lives, our relationships and our sense of purpose, not just our financial situation or material possessions.
(all your wealth belongs to the cult - if you object you ain't happy and you disappear)
2."Everyone's happiness matters". We believe in a more collaborative and altruistic society which cares about the welfare of others and values positive relationships, trust and emotional intelligence.
(we're all connected by the 'empathy police' and misery will be punished so just smile, the Stasi had nothing on this)
3."We can all make a difference". We can all play a role in creating a happier society by the way we choose to live our lives – as partners, friends, parents, neighbours, employees and members of society.
It's totalitarian and we all must work for the top of the pyramid where a clown reigns supreme showering us all with mirth.
What could possibly go wrong with this idea?
