Plot summary

Seven people living with mental health difficulties join a program led by the positive psychotherapist Marie McLeod, grounded in positive psychology, neuroscience and the science of wellbeing. What happens, the project asks, when the science of happiness is offered to people in the middle of a struggle? Can the skills behind a happier, healthier and more meaningful life be taught, or is happiness not a learnable thing? Psychology spent a long time studying the ways the human mind goes wrong. The research here looks at the other side of those sciences, at what is right about us and which thoughts, actions and behaviors make life worth living.
