One corrections officer described this course’s success with the offenders under his care as “dramatic,” noting, “Extraordinarily, they now feel remorse for what they have done in the past.”
The Way to Happiness helps restore a person’s innate goodness and pride. A person on the Criminon program soon discovers he is the one in charge. Pride and self-trust return upon recognition of the betrayal of his own essence, the breaking of the one contract he must not break: the contract with himself.
Take the case of a recent graduate of the program in Florida, who wrote, “I’ve gotten a better outlook on life and a means to better understand how people want to be treated—the way I would want to be treated myself. I wish that I could have known about this course a lot sooner! I would recommend this course to everyone. I hope that what I’m saying will help someone else. I used to be a criminal, but now I’m not and don’t know how to thank Criminon enough for the opportunity of going through their course.”
This step alone has created astonishing results. In one study where juvenile recidivism decreased sharply, the youths had completed only a course based on The Way to Happiness. The director of the juvenile court and chief probation officer at that time, Danny O. Black, said, “Over 90 percent of the juvenile offenders seem to internalize the values and we don’t see them again as court referrals. ... I have over 500 letters on file that these kids have written saying how The Way to Happiness helped them straighten their lives out.”
