I want to get these life-changing booklets delivered widely. I need help to print and deliver them. Up to you!

Auckland

The booklet has 21 precepts which are all common sense guides to living. I encountered it when I was in London about 40 years ago and it was partly responsible for putting me on the right path in life It gave some additional pointers on how to live a happy life which had not been covered in my up-bringing

As an example, one of the precepts is: "Be Competent" which gave me the pointers to Look, Learn and Practice. There is a difference between "doing a good job" and being competent as competence is a step up since it covers all situations and has the expectation that you can produce a result despite the circumstances.

I want to be able to distribute this booklet to people in prison, better yet, to people before they take the action that could put them in prison and thus it would go to your next door neighbours and to friends and co-workers. I know of prisoners who read the booklet in prison and it changed them.

I would ask that you distribute the booklets topeople around you and those of you who live in Auckland can get printed booklets delivered by me. If you live outside Auckland, you have to order enough to cover the postage for some booklets.

Here are the financial nuts and bolts.

The Royalty is 15c per booklet to date we have $60 toward this.

printing 5000 costs 45c per booklet

Shipping 5000 to NZ from China costs 20c per booklet

Distribution is a big variable. I would only charge for the petrol for distribution in Auckland plus $20 per driving hour. If you come to me to pick booklets up, that would be ideal.

Any surplus will be used to send sample booklets from this batch to people wanting them in the next run.

Disclosure: The booklet was written by L Ron Hubbard , Founder of Scientology. The precepts are common sense and could be derived from the Bible, Koran, and Torah while some of the details are from Scientology teachings. You should get a copy from your local library if you want to see for yourself.

Or go on-line to: https://www.thewaytohappiness.org/thewaytohappiness.html

If this is a successful fund-raising I will then embark on a Te Reo edition of the booklet. The current Te Reo version is being edited and as it will need a cover that is suitable for a Te Reo edition will cost a wee bit more than $5,000 by about $500 or so. So, let's get this one done so I can get the next one going!

Stephan Hokke's involvement (page creator)

I have seen the value of reading the "Way To Happiness" booklet. It has a good influence on people's lives. I want to get the booklet distributed widely in New Zealand so as to place in people's hands a non-religious moral code based on common sense. I am personally unable to fund it myself, so am turning to fellow New Zealanders for help.to cover a print run of 5000 booklets.

I am tired of our society decaying into moral oblivion. I have recently studied and researched the results this simple moral code has had around the world. Therefore, I have decided to suppprt and try to get it acknowledged and applied in our society. If this work could be assimilated into our education system, imagine the reduction in anti social behaviour and crime in our communities.
