Happiness, The Series DVD

Aristotle said, “Happiness is the one thing you can choose for itself – everything else is chosen for the sake of happiness.“ In this one phrase, he reveals how happiness affects our view of ourselves, success, purpose in life – and yes – even our happiness. This one concept controls what we pursue in life and career – and who we choose as our friends and spouses – just about everything we believe and hold dear.

Our high school students need to seriously engage this question in order to make sense out of their lives, their studies, and themselves. Fr. Robert Spitzer has devised a program called “The Four Levels of Happiness” which helps students (and teachers) better understand their options for happiness and purpose in life – and to recognize the traps and pitfalls of delaying decisions, and selecting unwisely. In these 7 episodes, students will encounter the major ideas and principles underlying their happiness – as well as its two related issues – transcendent eternal life and the purpose of suffering.

Two lively young narrators – Eric Johnson and Jennifer Milani – help to interpret world-renowned experts who provide contemporary evidence for God, the soul, the resurrection of Jesus, and the purpose of suffering. An illustrated, user-friendly Study Guide is also available with summaries, study questions, definitions, biographies, and references.
