    An American expat in Dubai explores people's ideas of happiness while an amateur British golfer attempts to conquer the course... Experts and expats from across the globe including a priest, monk, veterinarian, educators and everyday folks guide us on the complex journey to contentment. At the same time, we follow Eugene, struggling to lower his score on the golf course -- a quest that often mirrors the emotional rollercoaster of life. Doug Morrione (Director), inspired by his relocation to the UAE -- the first country to appoint a federal minister of happiness -- interviewed expats in Dubai from Nepal, England, Austria, Ireland, Ukraine, Norway, Bangladesh and other destinations to see how life in people's home countries juxtaposes over their lives in Dubai. The film also explores the growing emphasis on well-being science and positive education in schools as students, parents and educators attempt to navigate the perils of a social media landscape where children are now living two lives -- online and in the real world.
