The UN General Assembly established the International Day of Happiness to remind governmental organisations that it is important to take into account the level of happiness when determining indicators of a nation’s well-being, because purely economic indicators do not reflect reality.
The International Day of Happiness should draw humanity’s attention to happiness and remind that the pursuit of happiness is a defining and inseparable desire of every human being on the planet.
As for traditions, there are not so many, because the International Day of Happiness is a very young holiday. As a rule, on this day, lectures and trainings are held, where participants talk about the importance of happiness for a person and share ideas for improving everyday life.
Presentations of books devoted to the theme of happiness are organised. Educational institutions talk about the importance of a positive attitude to life and others. And ordinary people simply send their friends and relatives congratulations with wishes for all the best.
