We invite children to explore the science of happiness
Through art and connection to nature.
We are children from around the world, united in creating a global Happiness Manifestation.
Through the Flow of Happiness we lean that true happiness is found in gratitude and kindness.
Together, we create a ripple of kindness that flows into an ocean of happiness.
So, what does the latest science say about what makes us happy?
As a matter of fact, not much has changed since the beginning of time. Gratitude and kindness have always been the source of our happiness. What we know today is just how to measure it, so we can verify what's been said for thousands of years all over the planet.
Happiness, it turns out, is not a mystery to solve. It’s a state of being to remember. Science simply proves what the heart has always known. True happiness comes from within.
From the perception of scarcity to abundance
Gratitude
When we focus on what we already have and are, rather than what we lack and desire, our brain rewires toward abundance. Studies show that practicing gratitude for just a few minutes a day increases life satisfaction, strengthens the immune system, and improves sleep. Gratitude opens the heart, allowing us to see beauty in ordinary moments.
Kindness turns strangers into friends
Kindness
Kindness is contagious. A single act can spark ripples that travel through communities and generations. Science shows that when we help others, we activate the brain’s reward centers as if we ourselves had received the gift. Kindness releases oxytocin, the “bonding hormone,” which deepens trust, lowers blood pressure, and expands empathy. Every kind act brings us closer to the flow of happiness.
But where do I start?
A good place to start is right here and now. From this moment, I can nurture gratitude for myself and for the life I’ve been given, for the Earth that provides everything I need, and for others with whom I connect, co-create, and contribute. Then I set the intention to be kind, here and now — to myself, to the Earth, and to others.
So since research shows that around 40% of our happiness is intentional, we can litterally choose to be happier.
