The Human Thriving Foundation was initiated in 2009 to disseminate the findings, the discoveries, as well as the innovations from Happiness360. In their first five-years of scientific inquiry, Happiness360 had concentrated 100% of its revolutionary effort and time (approximately 15,000 hours) in designing, conducting and analyzing 17 rigorous research projects.
The Human Thriving Foundation's proprietary investigation discovered a group of 13-human behaviors, that as a tightly-held group, predict happiness at over a 92% probability. These behaviors include: social support group, work-life balance, volunteerism, spirituality, hobbies, leisure time, music, intimacy, donating, exercise, touching, preventative health and random acts of kindness.
