Fulfilling, sustainable happiness comes from within, not from anything u can get externally (yet somehow our society has conditioned us to believe otherwise). When u desire something, and get it, it temporarily relieves our desire & so we feel happier... until the next thing we desire comes along, then we're right back in the cycle. It may be fulfilled for a moment, but it is not sustained. We have to learn to look for abundance and happiness within ourselves, as opposed to externally (a car, home, job, money, family, relationships, etc.). I think anyone going into this film thinking it has a huge political basis will be dissappointed. The only politics really involved is the conditioning of society on our perspective of what happiness is. As for immigrants, u know what? This is a place called Earth first and foremost, and we are ALL human beings.... is it so bad if we each pay a few extra tax bucks to help a fellow earthling survive and find a better way of life? I dont really think so. If we all learn to love ourselves & treat ourselves as our best friend and in turn love others just as uncondiitonally, we will ALL be happy.

It starts off much better than the middle or end. (So it was edited and all the good stuff put up front.) It's not well structured or organized. At least it gets you to think. And then it makes you fall asleep and a bit disappointed. But at least it's a worthwhile theme. The discussions about history and achievement and arrival myths in psychology were great elements in the beginning. Then later in the middle and end... well, you'll see for yourself.

This documentary had NOTHING to do with Obama. It was a great doc and I would listen to everything they had to say in it again. At some point in life, you do ask yourself what makes you happy and you continue to think about it as your life long journey continues.

I didn't waste time watching the whole thing, but I assume that it ultimately concludes that campaigning for Obama is true happiness.
