Episode 21: "Pursuing Happiness," A Documentary Film

Here are today's guests on the TODAY SHOW with Maria Shriver, Monday, July 6, 2015, here is a preview! 

As Americans, we spend upwards of $10 billion every year seeking happiness. Additional billions (yes, plural) of dollars are spent annually on antidepressants. Yet we consistently rank low on the United Nation’s World Happiness Report. Today we are speaking with Adam Shell and Nicholas Kraft, the director/editor and producer of the film “Pursuing Happiness: A Documentary About Finding the Happiest People in America.” Adam and Nicholas spoke to over 400 happiness experts (many folks just like you and me) as they traveled over 6,000 miles, visiting 20 different states! Their tale is not a purely Pollyanna one though—to know the light we must experience the dark. What these two brilliant men do share, is a film with enormous heart. “Pursuing Happiness" has connection and community as its heartbeat; it is a film that had me burst out in laughter and silently shed tears. It is a film I intend to share over and over again with family and friends…and today I begin that sharing with you.
