A very interesting video. 
The speaker is journalism professor Benjamin Wallace who frequents the pages of GQ. He reviews outrageously expensive food, drinks, products, etc. Watch and see if happiness has a price tag.

The price of happiness for us is the price of hay and grain to feed our horses.
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
