March 20 is International Happiness Day. Interestingly, UN has a wonderful campaign. My happy music is ‘Sleep All Day’ by Jason Mraz. Visit the official website of the World Hapiness Day.

Nominate a song that brings a smile to your face, and demonstrate your solidarity with people around the globe facing tough challenges. Share what happy sounds like to you and see if it makes the #HappySoundsLike playlist. The world’s happiest playlist will be available for the whole world to listen to for free on Friday, March 20th.
