The Definition of Happiness

As the elusive pursuit of happiness plunges humanity deeper into depression, Tim is forced onto a transformative journey that challenges everything we think we know about what it means to be happy.

IMDbDocumentary

In a world obsessed with happiness, so many of us are feeling more lost than ever. After a life-altering accident, Tim travels across four countries to explore how we define happiness — and whether we’re even asking the right questions. What he discovers could change the way we live, and what we value, forever.
