InHappiness was founded in Mumbai, India in 2007 to develop evidence-
based standardized happiness building programs with proven results to
build world happiness.
InHappiness Foundation is a non-profit company (REG.NPC 2013/087817/08)
dedicated to building world happiness.
We are based in Soweto and Cape Town, South Africa and market our
programs in the United States through International Happiness Institute.
Serious About Laughter
Founder Bill Gee is a pioneer in the practice of therapeutic laughter.
Previously a director of the world’s largest laughter movement —
Laughter Yoga International — Bill was convinced of laughter’s potential
for benefit but understood the need for research and scientific
validation.
Our evidence-based programs combine Aerobic Laughter with applied
positive psychology and cognitive behavioral techniques to achieve rapid
and lasting behavior change.
Health Care Focus
In 2008 InHappiness was approached by USAID/PEPFAR to
develop programs to build happiness and provide
psychosocial support for adults and children infected and
affected by HIV and AIDS and their caregivers.
After two years of development and testing, a versatile low-cost program was subjected to intense scrutiny in a USAID-funded study.The program dramatically reduced stress, burnout, depression and trauma and build happiness in a group of the most highly stressed people in the world. Results have been widely presented at scientific conferences.The development of the program and results achieved were documented in a 2011 book Healing with Happiness now available from Amazon.com.
InHappiness remained focused
on providing programs to the
HIV and AIDS sector, using
earning to sponsor free programs for AIDS orphans.
Coming out of ‘Stealth Mode’
The current world economic crisis slashed funding to HIV/AIDS projects
and interrupted our mission to provide trauma-healing and future-
building programs to Africa’s 15 million AIDS orphans.
To enable us to continue this mission, we decided to make our
groundbreaking programs available to individuals, organizations and the
healthcare sector worldwide.
