Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss

Rainn Wilson's global quest for bliss begins in Iceland, where he gets nude in a cauldron of magma, chugs cod liver oil and learns the art of failure.

Seeking to understand the nature of happiness, Rainn visits Bulgaria, where he skateboards, gorges on pastries and attends a concert in a stranger's bedroom.

According to the World Happiness Report, Ghana's capital city of Accra is the fourth most optimistic place on earth; Rainn explores how boxing, fishing, farming and burying dead people in coffins shaped like condoms can relate to happiness.

In Thailand, Rainn hopes to learn the art of enjoying himself while in the company of cabaret dancers, fortune-telling monks, kickboxers and farmers peddling sexual enhancement supplements.

Los Angeles offers everything associated with happiness -- fame and fortune, sun and surf -- but for Rainn, LA has never been a very happy place; alongside sugar-rushed partygoers and a Yoda in tennis shoes, Rainn looks for bliss in his own backyard.
