YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

To understand happiness, we need to study its absence.

Three components:

1. Having managed your life well, having self-actualized self-efficaciously (Maslow);

2. Having contributed to a collective (community) whose member you are;

3. Having conducted yourself with dignity and integrity, having respected and loved yourself.

Happiness is not gratification: it is a state of being, not a state of mind, it is internal, not external. So, self-sufficiency, not grandiosity, and not hedonism=not narcissism.

Happiness is individual, lack of happiness is universal.

So, I devised a map of happiness:

1. What could you not be happy without?

2. How does absence of happiness feel?

Andrei Tanase is a film director from Bucharest, Romania. He is currently working on a documentary film that aims to shed light on the pursuit of happiness. His, or anyone else's. The original name of the film is “In preajma fericirii” and is scheduled for completion towards the end of 2024.
