8. Advance the United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development.

9. Enjoy Nature.

Step 9 is to get outside, enjoy nature, and connect with the environment. Some ideas are going for a hike, going to the park, visiting lakes and natural sites to get in touch with nature. Research studies from around the world have proven that spending time with nature increases happiness and well-being levels.

10. Adopt Happytalism.

Step 10 is to adopt and spread a more holistic, inclusive, equitable, and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes sustainable development, poverty eradication, happiness, and the wellbeing of all peoples – such as Happytalism – to advance happiness as a fundamental human right and goal, to achieve the global goals for sustainable development, and ultimately, the happiness, wellbeing, and freedom of all life on earth.
