You can read today’s edition of The 7 newsletter here. While The 7 podcast takes a break today, we wanted to share this episode from The Optimist. It’s all about if it’s possible to choose happiness.
Are you happy? How would you answer that question if a stranger with a camera asked?
Five years ago, filmmaker Atdhe Trepca quit his job and drove across the country with a camera, asking hundreds of people that question.
His videos reach millions on TikTok and Instagram, and now he’s made a documentary.
Today, Optimist reporter Maggie Penman shares what Trepca has learned – and the research that backs up his observations.
If you want to hear more stories like this, please let us know. You can reach the whole team at podcasts@washpost.com or email Maggie at maggie.penman@washpost.com.
Today’s episode was reported and produced by Maggie Penman, with help from Ted Muldoon, Emma Talkoff, Reena Flores, and Sean Carter, who also mixed the show. It was edited by Allison Klein.
