Colors, 83 (Happiness)

Created by photographer Oliviero Toscani and art director Tibor Kalman in 1991 to show the world to the world.

The magazine looks at social issues by following them around the world and treating everything with the same naivety to give a glimpse of what's going on through first-person interviews and photography. The magazine has been translated into over 15 languages including Korean, Russian and Greek.

This issue is about "Happiness":

You get it when you win a race and lose it when you get laid off. Governments put it in their policies, preachers in their sermons, writers at the ends of their stories. Scientists say they’ve found it on the left side of the brain. Pursuing it, Americans spend US$20 billion a year on self-help and antidepressants. But wealth isn’t working: people in the West are twice as rich as they were sixty years ago, yet no more satisfied with their lives. Twenty years from now, depression will be the biggest health burden in the world. Joy, euphoria, satisfaction, tranquility, triumph. It comes in many forms. So what makes you happy.
