Good Choices
This Book Will Help You Make Good Choices
The Good Choices® program is based on The Way to Happiness®, a non-religious guide to happy living that was written by L. Ron Hubbard in 1981. This was in response to the 1980 Supreme Court decision to remove all references to the Ten Commandments from schools. Mr. Hubbard predicted a rise in crime and violence as a result of that decision and wrote The Way to Happiness to help fill the void.
It may be the only non-religious moral code based wholly on common sense.
How to Make Good Choices
Based on The Way to Happiness
Helping children make good choices is one of the most important skills they can develop early in life! Good Choices provides a practical framework for children to learn essential values like respect, responsibility and honesty.
It helps them to understand how their daily choices shape their relationships with others and the world around them. By teaching children how to respect themselves, their peers, teachers and parents, the Good Choices program sets them on the path to making positive decisions that will help them thrive in life.
