Summary
Is it possible to predict what will make us happy? Why do some people have the ability to bounce back after disaster strikes, while others do not? This program examines qualities such as compassion, forgiveness, altruism, and resilience that foster positive emotions. In the spotlight are people facing major life challenges-job loss, a diagnosis of cancer, the death of a child, a serious accident-as well as those coping with more common daily struggles. A man who overcame an abusive childhood and a veteran who survived seven years as a POW with his sanity intact are among the cases profiled.
