Racing for Happiness
After his turbulent cycling career, Thomas Dekker’s life starts again in 2015. He writes his memoir My Fight, which becomes an instant bestseller. It also puts him in the spotlight beyond the sports world, and both friend and foe are shocked by the revelations he makes in the book.
Chasing happiness begins where My fight ends. Thomas leaves for his wealthy lover in Beverly Hills, where he is part of the jet set life with movie stars, artists and performers. He lives an incredibly luxurious life for almost five years and experiences the most bizarre adventures, when in fact he is mainly looking for love and sincerity. But how do you choose a path that suits you in a life full of extremes? The life he leads there makes him increasingly depressed. What now? Can he find his happiness again through cycling?
Racing for happiness encompasses a turbulent period in his life, a time with many ups and downs, in which Thomas certainly does not shy away from self-reflection. The result is a dazzling report, an honest search for what every human being actually wants: happiness.
