Johnson, Pamela Gail: - Pamela Gail Johnson has helped people understand, expand, and rethink their happiness mindset since 1998, when she founded the Society of Happy People at the height of the self-help movement. As a mostly happy person, Pamela asked herself, "Where are all of the happy people?" She then decided they needed their own tribe. Today there are 52K of them on Facebook, and more elsewhere.

Pamela and the Society have been featured in many national and regional magazines and newspapers, including People magazine, Newsweek, The Washington Post, The Cotsco Connection, USA Today, Prevention, Harper's, Yoga Journal, Self, Redbook, Glamour, The Wall Street Journal, The Dallas Morning News, and The Los Angeles Times. Numerous broadcast outlets have featured Pamela and the Society, including CNN, Good Morning America, The List, local TV network affiliates around the country, and radio stations nationwide. Pamela's work with the Society has also been covered by The Associated Press.

The Society has been featured in several books, including 365 Health and Happiness Boosters by M.J. Ryan, Live Your Passion by Scott Trudo, Think You're The Only One? by Seth Brown, Voices of Truth by Nina L. Diamond, and Chase's Calendar of Events, as well as the Every Day's A Holiday calendar.
