How do you find moments of pure happiness in adulthood? What movies have been transformative for you?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are taking a look at Peter and his family from Hook. This one is special for Jonathan, who shares why this movie, particularly Peter's journey, was so transformative for him. They talk about Peter's fear of failing as a parent and being crippled by stress and anxiety. And they both talk about finding youthful enthusiasm in adulthood. Because it's a Steven Spielberg movie with a John Williams score, of course Alan has a lot to say!
