There's a path to happiness that always delivers.

Our culture tries to convince us there is one way to happiness: aspire, acquire, desire, retire. We're told that happiness depends on what we hang in our closet, park in our garage, and deposit in our bank account. Yet it's a path that always fails to deliver.

In this video Bible study, (DVD/video streaming sold separately) bestselling author Max Lucado looks at several compelling passages in the Bible that reveal how the happiest people on earth aren't those who have the most but those who are willing to give the most away.

Max also uses Scripture to show us how to address some of the most common sources of unhappiness, such as:

  • Dealing with difficult people.
  • Coping with tough circumstances.
  • Overcoming low self-esteem.
  • Managing stress.

God wants to bring joy to the people of this generation. In his Word, he has given us practical and applicable ways to discover that joy by sharing it with others. Although the world can be a lonely and disappointing place, we can be God's representatives to bring about a cascade of kindness! While we won't be able to solve every problem, we can bring a few smiles to a few faces—and in this way, we might even initiate our own quiet revolution of joy.

How Happiness Happens is perfect for small groups of friends or church groups who want to get to know each other better, and for introverts and extroverts alike. This study guide includes:

  • Video teaching notes and discussion questions.
  • Bible exploration.
  • Weekly personal study and reflection materials.

Designed for use with the How Happiness Happens Video Study (9780310105732), sold separately. Streaming video also available.

What people are saying:

Chip Gaines

Chip Gaines, Co-Founder of Magnolia

"For me and my family, I’ve always said that the farm isn’t what made us happy. Instead, I believe it was everything that happened on our way to the farm…and it’s because of that journey that we are the people we are today. I love Max Lucado, I love his family, and I love the perspective he shares in How Happiness Happens. If you’re looking for a wakeup call or a dose of modern day wisdom, read this book. In fact, read all of his books—you’ll be glad you did."

Christine Caine

Christine Caine, NYT Best-Selling Author

"In a world where happiness has become fickle and fleeting, Max takes us back to Jesus’ path to happiness that is rooted in true joy and loving others. How Happiness Happens will challenge you to focus less on yourself and your circumstances, and more on our good God - the true source of our joy."

Dennis Praeger

Dennis Praeger, Nationally-Syndicated Radio Show Host

"Max Lucado, one of the leading Christian writers of our time, has written a wonderful book about one of life’s most important subjects: happiness. I have long argued that the happy make the world better and the unhappy make it worse. Therefore, this book can make the world better. I hope millions read it. And while it is written from a Christian’s perspective, anyone of any faith—or of no faith—will greatly benefit from it."

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Max Lucado is a pastor, speaker, and bestselling author who, in his own words, “writes books for people who don’t read books.” He serves the people of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, and his message is for the hurting, the guilty, the lonely, and the discouraged: God loves you; let him.

Max is known for combining poetic storytelling and homespun humor with the heart of a pastor. All of his trade books began as sermon series at Oak Hills Church, and his sermons all begin with Max asking himself this question: “What can I say on Sunday that will still matter on Monday?” He’s been dubbed “America’s Pastor” by Christianity Today, and “The Best Preacher in America” by Reader’s Digest.

Max’s books have sold more than 150 million copies in over 50 languages worldwide. He published On the Anvil, his first trade book, in 1985. His 46th trade book, What Happens Next, was released in August 2024. Max’s books regularly appear on bestseller lists, including The New York Times. His writing has also been featured in Bible studies, Bible commentaries, songs, greeting cards, and even plush toys. He is the recipient of many book awards and received the 2021 ECPA Pinnacle Award for his outstanding contribution to the publishing industry.

Max and his wife Denalyn live in San Antonio, Texas. They have three grown daughters, three sons-in-law, and four grandchildren.

    I purchased this book as a recommendation from a book club list, and found it very easy and engaging to read. I then purchased the DVD teaching lesson that corresponds to the book, and used this for a women's bible study. Both were a little different format and content from each other, however. Thus, I advise before purchasing both, to be aware of this.

    Excellent application of the"one anothers" of the New Testament. The format was a bit confusing for use with a group, and I'm not sure the videos add much depth, but in general this was a good way for our women's Bible study group to examine how scripture tells us to live out Christ's admonition to love one another.

    As always Max has done an excellent job. I read the book that I received as a gift and then purchased the lessons to use with my adult Sunday School when we get back to church. Perfect timing for these days. Thanks Max
