Part of The March of Time series, this episode (Volume 13, Number 1) deals with the question of whether people are happy. Despite new technology and labor saving devices everywhere, people seem to have no more time on their hands and in many ways seem unhappier. The correspondence with advice columnist such as Dorothy Dix, seems to be growing. Health and fitness advocates, like Charles Atlas, have a booming business as people search for something that will make them feel better. Fortune tellers and self-styled counselors on the radio are popular but, in the opinion of doctors, dangerous.
