HAPPY
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT
We all want to be happy. But let's face it: great art and literature throughout history have been based on the premise that an awful lot of people - maybe even most people - go though life with deep sense of yearning. There's something inside them that feels empty. No matter how much they achieve or acquire, that emptiness doesn't go away. It's as if they can catch a glimpse of happiness, but they can't quite ever get hold of it. And once they've chased after the false promise of happiness for long enough, they begin to suspect that happiness doesn't even exist. They lose hope. They give up.
Here's the good news: it is possible to be happy. It is possible to fill that empty space inside.
The title of our program could be a question - "What makes you happy?" - but it could also be a statement. It might even be a promise. Come and find out, "what makes you happy"?

So One Man Sharpens Another
