The Wonderful World of the Pursuit of Happiness is the fifth studio album by Canadian power pop band the Pursuit of Happiness.

The album, released in late 1996, was produced by the band's singer/guitarist/songwriter Moe Berg, and co-produced by the label's founder, Aubrey Winfield.

All of the tracks on the album are under four minutes in length, with the majority of them under three minutes, and there is no separation between tracks. As Berg explained, "The idea with this record was to format it so that a person could listen to the entire thing in one sitting, and since it's just over a half an hour it's definitely something people can get through without much effort." [1]

Although the band has never officially broken up, after this release their new recordings have been restricted to individual songs for compilation albums, including "Edmonton Block Heater" on A Tribute to Hard Core Logo .
