The main thought on my mind while I was watching this film was "An Idea. Do whatever you can to reach the destination". The "destination" was HAPPINESS.
This is one of the main things in the life, how to make it for ourselves, happiness. After that there is a question :
"Can I train my mind like I train my body?" to be happy and to feel the happiness.
The film was created by Stefan Sagmeister, a famous graphic designer who put a lot of work into the history of design. When I tried to understand his minds, that wasn't so easy. Designers are not as simple as people think. Designers must look at this world from the different coast and must think extraordinary. That's how they can show people things that people thought "this is the norm" that now seems unusual from the perspective of the designers.
3 steps that Stefan Sagmeister followed to make yourself HAPPY :
1. Concentration
2. Cognitive Therapy
3. Drugs

Bali, Indonesia - Silence and Meditation there to feel calm for 1st step - Concentration.
Meditation/Break. Meditation from determination. That wasn't enough for his own happiness. Probably he should have been more flexible for his happiness. Finally he got his receipt for a small, tiny Happy Moment, which are = His MP3 Player + Empty beautiful road + no reason to drive around + shivers running down his spine.

Cognitive Therapy. Talk to the specialist and talk about all the problems or feelings that he had, do things that he didn't use to do, talk to strangers that wasn't so easy for environment and grow a confidence.
Commitment issues. Is this necessary? I do think so in my opinion. But in his opinion?

Drugs. Which wasn't a good idea - many people would think like this. But the HAPPINESS was on the highest level with drugs, with love, with a huge experience that he let himself to do while taking drugs. One of the phrase that he said while the HAPPINESS "Having guts always works out for me".
Sometimes we need somebody or something to push ourselves somewhere! At this point we would understand that here this are drugs.

THIS FILM WILL NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY - this is true. But this film gave an understanding of what do you have in your life and you can use it for your own happiness. The thing that for the whole film he was trying to be happy is incredible. But in the fact,
If balloons can't lift you up and make you happy,
Let that balloons lift up somebody else, your loved one for example
And let them to be Happy.
