Why You’re Not Happy — The Science of Real Joy

We have more comfort, technology, entertainment and convenience than almost any generation before us. So why can joy still feel so difficult to find? In this documentary, we explore THE SCIENCE OF JOY — what joy is, how it differs from temporary happiness and pleasure, what happens inside the brain when we experience it, and the everyday practices associated with cultivating it. Discover the different faces of joy, from anticipation and small everyday pleasures to connection, flow, purpose and awe. We also explore common myths about joy and practical habits discussed in the research, including gratitude, savoring, meaningful relationships, movement, nature, mindfulness, kindness and acceptance. Perhaps joy isn't a destination waiting somewhere in the future. Perhaps it's something we practise. Watch to the end for a different way of thinking about happiness, meaning and the ordinary moments that make life feel worthwhile.
