Eight ordinary people are picked to be on the show. The participants agree to follow an 8 week program based on Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar’s famous lectures and books on the subject of happiness and how to achieve it. The show focuses on an important lesson in each episode, participants are briefed at the beginning of the week and assigned tasks to complete and report back on at the end of the week. Viewers follow participants performing their tasks, which include resolving old disputes, handing out gratitude letters to people and challenging themselves in various other ways. Through this work dramatic and exciting stories emerge out of the participants’ past and difficult issues are dealt with on camera.

Aired on Channel 2 (Iceland).
