Live Happy Invites All to Join the ‘March to Happiness’
Dallas, Texas – March 1, 2016 – Today, Live Happy launches a month-long ‘March to Happiness’ celebration, kicking off with the release of the new issue of the magazine, which is dedicated to savoring life’s greatest moments, including those as a parent of joyful children. On March 15th, Live Happy will release its first book: Live Happy: Ten Practices for Choosing Joy (HarperElixir). Throughout the month, everyone is encouraged to share #HappyActs to honor and support the International Day of Happiness on March 20.
The new March/April issue of Live Happy, the first-of-its-kind publication that combines the science of happiness with practical advice, features actress Kristen Bell on the cover. Additional celebrity features highlight NFL Hall of Famer and TV host Michael Strahan and Tony-Award-winning actress Laura Benanti, currently co-starring on CBS’ Supergirl. As with every issue, the magazine shares expert tips, insights, and resources from leading positive psychologists, which offer small actions you can take for ’round-the-clock’ happiness that will get March off to a cheerful start.
Debuting on March 15th, Live Happy’s new book, Live Happy: Ten Practices for Choosing Joy, offers actionable steps toward achieving authentic happiness. Each chapter examines the science of happiness and small, everyday “happy acts” that can result in life-changing breakthroughs. Live Happy shares 40 inspiring and heart-tugging celebrity and real-life stories, highlighted by the key components of a happy life such as gratitude, positive attitude, play and purpose.
With its third annual #HappyActs campaign, Live Happy will share small, simple actions and “happy learnings” on its social media channels and website. March 18-20, in conjunction with the International Day of Happiness, more than 100 happiness walls will be set up in communities across the country—and around the world—encouraging visitors to physically post, share and participate.

“Every March is the most exciting time here at Live Happy when we rev the happiness movement into high gear and encourage everyone to participate, but this year is that much more special with the launch of our first-ever book,” says Deborah K. Heisz, co-founder, COO and editorial director. “Happiness is a choice and something we can always continue to work on, so we are thrilled to continue to expand our offerings and tools that complement the magazine and our other initiatives, to help readers achieve the healthiest and happiest lives they can.”
