A public high school just outside New York City had an especially bad reputation for violence. Over the eighteen months prior to the start of the Youth Education Campaign, based mainly on The Way to Happiness booklet—this school had two to three fights either inside the buildings or on its grounds every day. A school staff member was assigned full time to handle the student fighting, and even with that precaution, there were still one to two murders occurring each month. The Youth Education Campaign kicked off with an all-school assembly for 2,000 students.

Concerned businesses express corporate commitment through The Way to Happiness

Small businesses in the service sector all over the world observed "The Way to Happiness Corporate Commitment Week" aimed at cutting neighborhood crime and uplifting local communities.

A team of The Way to Happiness supporters secured and delivered bundles of booklets to charitable organizations, schools and youth groups, who then distributed them throughout the Vancouver region before and during the 2010 Winter Olympics. More than 65,000 custom edition The Way to Happiness booklets were passed out by those who have now been referred to as an army of peacemakers.

As a result, officials in Vancouver were stunned as to why the crime rate plummeted during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

Bomb blasts were halted for three weeks after The Way to Happiness booklets, published in Urdu, were distributed in the cities of Lahore, Islāmābād and Rāwalpindi in northern Pakistan. These cities are all within a three-hour drive from the Afghan border. For several months, Taliban extremists who train in Afghanistan had been slipping across the border nonstop, to run their campaign of terror by bombing public areas in Pakistan, then fleeing back to the safety of their Afghani strongholds.
