Happiness. Philosophers from the time of Aristotle have called it the ultimate purpose of life. And why not? Scientific studies proclaim that happy people enjoy greater intimacy, better health and even more creativity. So bring it on! Everyone wants happiness! Everyone except documentary maker, Frank Faulk.

 

In his feature documentary, Say No to Happiness, Frank wonders whether we are losing something in our desperate search for joy -- the need for meaning in our lives.

Frank speaks to:

Gretchen Rubin - author of The Happiness Project.

Daniel Polish - author of Talking About God: Exploring the Meaning of Religious Life with Kierkegaard, Buber, Tillich and Heschel.

Todd Kashdan - author of Designing Positive Psychology.

Jordan B. Peterson  - author of Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief.
