Pursuit of Happiness is the thirteenth album from Arthur Loves Plastic and was released in 2006.

Pursuit of Happiness won the 2006 Wammie for Best Recording in the Electronica Category.[4]
"Pursuit of Happiness is more thrills than dual piano with Condoleezza..."
Amazon.com initially refused to stock the album because the "cover art goes beyond what (they are) willing to accept".[5] The album was subsequently made available from Amazon.com with a blank album cover.[6]
Following a request by Laura Burhenn to remove the ALP remixes of her tracks on the album; Pursuit of Happiness was reissued on 22 March 2010 without the tracks "Meltdown (Freedom Mix)" and "Just for the Night (Can't Hide My Love Mix)", but with the addition of the new track "Alone Till the Day I Die (Snow Mix)" and "family-friendly" cover art.[7][8]
Eight tracks from Pursuit of Happiness can be previewed in their entirety or downloaded for free from the Arthur Loves Plastic - The Tapegerm Collective music page, the Arthur Loves Plastic - Big Contact music podcast and the Bev Stanton - Links page.[9][10][11]
All songs written and composed by Bev Stanton, except where noted.
