After spending over 20 years in classrooms around the country, author Phillip D. Cortez is making it a mission to help students live happier lives by following three simple, yet effective rules offered in The Happy Manifesto. Teachers, parents & students have found tremendous value in this message & can easily apply these rules in the classroom through Social Emotional Learning activities and into their everyday lives!

The beauty is in the simplicity, according to those who have read the book and have heard Cortez’s message in classrooms and libraries throughout the country. It’s an easy-to-read manifesto, or guide, that parents and teachers can quickly absorb and apply in their own lives.
