LONDON —
=================================================
A new organization is dedicated to the principle that money can't buy happiness - but individual acts of kindness can.
Action for Happiness says it is a "mass movement for a happier society" based on scientific principles. Its founders include an eminent economist, a former government policy chief and the biographer of Tony Blair.
Co-founder Richard Layard of the London School of Economics says he hopes millions will join the campaign that starts Tuesday in hope of creating "more happiness in the world around them."
Research suggests Western nations' happiness levels remained static even as societies have grown richer.
Prime Minister David Cameron has vowed to increase Britain's happiness and has instructed statisticians to measure national well-being.
