Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss

I didn't even know he had a show, I'm so glad I came across it though! Has everything I'm looking for when I'm between shows of the week and to just kill time. Very insightful and you will also learn a lot, on episode 3 and still going. I think that one of the things that makes a show really stand out and capture and audience, with especially something like this. Is most definitely the comedy and how they can incorporate with people who actually know what they are talking about. At least that's a good way to learn I think, I wish they had stuff like this when I was in high school. Never to late though :)

This show really resonated with me- had a similar background situation and found myself trying to answer some big existential questions.

Thank you Rainn for sharing your journey- it helped me with mine, the search for happiness is elusive but attainable. Kudos for taking steps and seeking wisdom from different perspectives, it is a humbling experience.

The people that are featured are wonderful old souls and are truly trying to spreading their light. The cinematography is beautiful.

This documentary gave me a sense of hopelessness and gratitude. We need more of this everyday- A most sincere thank you.

The concept sounded great but instead of something meaningful it took the basic tourist trail and added a whimsical script from the American perspective.

This is a cookie-cutter style documentary without any new or interesting twists or turns. The kind of thing you can get from any basic YouTuber these days. The only difference is a famous face.

The script lacks luster and doesn't offer anything of real significance and flatlines.

I suppose if the intended audience is the 9-5 American Joe then it may seem interesting. But if that's not you, then give it a miss and go to YouTube instead.

Sadly very lacking.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer who said that episode five ruined the show for him. It just was so different from the previous episodes. I ended up fast forwarding through most of it. The only segment I enjoyed was the one with Ari Meyers. Having lived in Los Angeles for 14 years I guess I just don't see how it could be a blissful place to live. It made me unhappy. But the first four episodes are definitely worth watching. It was interesting watching all the different countries and people he met. I enjoyed their stories. I guess I relate to Rain because I too find it hard to be happy so I enjoyed seeing what makes people happy.

I don't often review anything, but I need to say something about the series. I put this on at random to serve as background noise only to find myself sitting down and watching it entirely.

His search to find an answer to what happiness truly is and how we can find it for ourselves is something that resonated inside me, and I believe it would do the same for anyone.

Whether you struggle with depression, or you feel like life has just become about jumping the next hurdle, or daily stress leaves you too exhausted to enjoy anything, or you simply feel aimless and empty, this short series is for you.

The people, cultures and places teach you simple truths in a beautiful way about human happiness. If you really listen, you will learn how interactions with family, friends, work, faith and nature shape people and, in turn, inspire you to think about you could change own interactions with world around you.

We are never less by knowing more. If you look inside yourself and cannot say that you are truly happy and at peace, then this series has something to teach you.
