The last episode was a bit of a letdown-isn't that always the case after returning from a trip. The jumping off point-happiness surveys and polls-is a bit gimmicky but overall this is a fantastic show. Rainn is an excellent interviewer, he managed to find very insightful, wise people to speak with during his travels and that's the highlight of the show.
Apart from that, this show was just a pleasure to watch, a great mix of humor, adventure and, vulnerability. The apex of the show was the Thai monk in his saffron robes, smoking a cone shaped cigarette surrounded by a motley assortment of rescued street dogs. If that isn't happiness (apart from the cigarette) then what is? The world can be an awesome place and humans can be amazing. Nice to see that in a real, non-sugarcoated way. Thanks Rainn for making this fantastic show. I will certainly rewatch some of these episodes down the road when I'm feeling too far on the darker, heavier side of life.
