Brief Dialogue on Happiness

Bys: Mujica, José Pepe and Iodice, Frank

What is happiness and how do we reach this state of mind?

In February 2014, Frank Iodice left for Montevideo, Uruguay, with his backpack, one-way ticket, no money and no idea of the fruition of his mission. Few month before, he had just seen on television Jos "Pepe" Mujica, the former president of Uruguayan Republic, a rebel, a revolutionist. It was the first time that he had heard a politician who talked of happiness and quoted the ancient Stoics inviting us to work less and not to run after money and success. Because of this, Frank wanted to meet el Pepe because he already knew he had a story to tell. In order to write the truth, he spent several months in Uruguayan cantegriles and met people from all walks of life to collect their testimonials.
