Search For Happiness (1948)

The film “Search For Happiness” explores the paradox of modern man’s pursuit of happiness amidst increasing technological complexity. Despite advancements designed to ease life, people experience heightened frustrations and mental health issues. Prominent thinkers like Professor Ernest Albert Hooton express concern over the impact of gadgets on human intellect and well-being. Traditional counseling methods are often inadequate, leading individuals to seek advice from sensationalized radio programs and dubious self-help schemes. The film critiques society’s reliance on quick fixes, superstitions, and the misguided belief that happiness can be found through external means rather than self-awareness and personal growth.
