Pursuit of Happiness
The Declaration of Independence lists
the Pursuit of Happiness among our three unalienable rights.
- Life
- Liberty
- The Pursuit of Happiness
So our founding fathers believed that “
Happiness” is so important to pursue, they listed it with life and liberty as core principles for their new system of government. So,
happiness has been an “unalienable right” for 238 years. In that time, the idea has progressed from an
iconic idea to a “science”.

Happify have developed this self-explaining graphic for our education and more effective pursuit.
