Happy é um documentário de 2011 dirigido, escrito e co-produzido por Roko Belic. Ele explora a felicidade humana por meio de entrevistas com pessoas de todas as esferas da vida em 14 países diferentes, tecendo as mais novas descobertas da psicologia positiva. O diretor Roko Belic foi originalmente inspirado para criar o filme depois que o produtor/diretor Tom Shadyac mostrou a ele um artigo no New York Times intitulado "Uma Nova Medida de Bem-Estar de um Pequeno Reino Feliz" . O artigo classifica os Estados Unidos como o 23º país mais feliz do mundo. Shadyac então sugeriu que Belic fizesse um documentário sobre a felicidade. Belic passou vários anos entrevistando mais de 20 pessoas, desde os principais pesquisadores da felicidade a um motorista de riquixá em Kolkatta, uma família que vive em uma "comunidade de co-habitação" na Dinamarca, uma mulher que foi atropelada por um caminhão, um pescador cajun e mais.
