The Search for What Makes Us Truly Happy
Imagine a psychiatrist who can make people less unhappy but not truly happy. This is Hector's dilemma. Despite his thriving practice in an upscale neighborhood, he feels a profound emptiness growing inside him. His waiting room overflows with successful professionals who have achieved their life goals yet remain persistently dissatisfied. Even more troubling, he notices that wealthy neighborhoods have ten times more psychiatrists than poor areas, suggesting something peculiar about modern affluence and happiness. When his observant housekeeper comments on his growing melancholy, Hector makes an unusual decision-he'll travel the world investigating what makes people happy or unhappy across different cultures. This journey will transform him from a traditional psychiatrist into a seeker of deeper truths about human contentment.
