Phi Beta Iota: The Founding Fathers of the United STATES of America included the “pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence.ย  This was not frivolous.ย  Wikipedia provides a superb concise discussion of how to interpret happiness in “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Our own interpretation, to which the below books have contributed, is that happiness is construed in two distinct aspects:

First, that each person find their fullest potential and live to that potential; and

Second, that each person be nurtured to their fullest potential within a harmonious community, or “fraternite.”

Happiness, like trust, lowers the cost to society of everything.
