Attributed to Thich Nhat Hanh
«There is no way to happiness—happiness is the way.»
Misattributed
Verdict
It is not in Thich Nhat Hanh's work
Attributed to Thich Nhat Hanh on thousands of pages, but it is a variant of “There is no way to peace; peace is the way”, a line of the pacifist A. J. Muste (1940s), which he occasionally quoted without claiming it. It is not found in any of his works in that wording.
