Bringing together powerful human stories with frontier science, this special four-part series looks at the primal emotions that we generate in our lives. Happiness This show draws a distinction between the lasting state of happiness and the pursuit of instant pleasure. We explore the evolutionary role of happiness, and ask what happens in the brain, and possibly our genes, that make some people happy and others sad.
