Happiness Happens Month
Posted on August 15 2025

Happiness Happens Month is celebrated throughout the entire month of August. This month is dedicated to celebrating happiness and encouraging people to share their joy with others. It's a time to focus on what makes you happy and to spread that happiness to those around you.
Happiness Happens Month was started by the Secret Society of Happy People, founded by Pamela Gail Johnson in August 1998.
The Society identified 31 Types of Happiness to make recognizing happiness easier and to share with others.
The goal is to create a positive environment where people feel comfortable expressing their happiness and sharing their happy moments.
It encourages individuals to prioritize their mental and emotional well-being and reminds them that happiness can be found in everyday moments.
Happiness Happens Month is a time to embrace activities that bring you joy, share your happiness with others, and perhaps even find new ways to cultivate happiness in your life, and all year long.
Spread happiness!
