Thom Payne is a 44-year-old man whose world is turned upside down when his 25-year-old boss, a "wunderkind," arrives, saying things like "digital," "social," and "viral." Does he need a "rebranding," or does he simply have a low "joy ceiling"? Perhaps the pursuit of happiness is a futile mission? After all, happiness is quite a high standard. In a world as absurd as ours, maybe the best one can hope for is some semblance of happiness.
