      What’s it about?

      It doesn’t matter who you are, what culture you represent, how you work, or where you’re from—if you’re a human on this planet, you probably want to find happiness. Finding happiness is the reason people go to work each day, take up hobbies, socialize with friends, and buy shiny new products. And yet, for millions of people all around the world, happiness remains elusive.
