The answers of many people were printed and then exposed-pinned on clothes dryers called "Porte-Bonheurs".

The idea of a Happening Record of happy moments has germinated: the Happython and the Happiness Virus have been created!
For more than 20 years, tens of thousands of people between the ages of 2 and 109 from all over the world have testified about what makes them happy.
