1.1 Seeking Happiness: To Each His Own

This video focuses on the concept of happiness and the human perception of it. In the video, you will see how the definition of happiness has changed over the years, from religious devotion to suffering to the current American emphasis on "the pursuit of happiness." The video also profiles an elderly couple who find happiness in devoting their lives to caring for animals. As you watch the video, you will see examples of research into ways people can learn to accept the happiness in their own lives instead of yearning for a level of happiness that is unrealistic.
