What does the right to happiness mean?
The Right to Happiness is the right to choose and live according to what makes us happy, by granting that same right to others. The community cannot impose on a human being the purpose of his existence or determine his happiness for him.
A State is not responsible for the happiness of its citizens, but it can be responsible for ensuring that each citizen can freely exercise his/her right to happiness.

It's all in your head
Happiness is an emotional state of mind (not to be confused with well-being, satisfaction or pleasure). It results from brain chemistry, varying depending on the type of neurotransmitters we use individually to manage the different situations in our lives. These neurological chemical mechanisms are becoming more and more known thanks to scientific research, especially in medicine and neuroscience, including those of our partner, the Inner Mammal Institute of San Francisco, with whom we organized study days in Monaco and seminars for managers and the general public in Paris in 2018 and 2019.
