Together, we dive into the evolving landscape of music videos in the indie music scene in 2024. Presented by SMART NOISE - http://smart-noise.com We explore the apparent contradiction of music videos losing relevance in an era where video content dominates platforms like YouTube, while music videos seem to have become the "unwanted stepchild" of the video content family. Eric shares his thoughts on why streaming giants like Spotify and Apple haven't pushed music videos as aggressively as they've embraced video content for podcasts. We also address the practical side of video creation, including the high costs and challenges indie labels face in producing them.

Today, we're sharing a special episode from The Gist—hosted by Mike Pesca. Rainn Wilson is the host of Peacock's The Geography Of Bliss, based on the book of the same name written by Eric Weiner. Like Weiner before him, Wilson (who played the legendary Dwight Schrute on The Office) travels the world in search of locally sourced happiness secrets. For some reason, Mike gives them both a hard time, and everyone winds up angrier at each other than one might expect from an exploration of bliss. Mike Pesca has established a seven-year connection to his audience as host of The Gist. For thirty minutes each day, Pesca challenges himself and his audience, in a responsibly provocative style, and gets beyond the rigidity and dogma.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADULTOS 2023“YO ESTOY CONTIGO”Narrado por: Roberto NavarroDesde: Montreal, CanadáUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church18 DE SEPTIEMBRE DEL 2023 "ENCONTRARÁN FELICIDAD Y DICHA" Regresarán los rescatados por el Señor, y entrarán en Sión dando gritos de alegría; sus rostros estarán siempre alegres; encontrarán felicidad y dicha, y el dolor y el llanto desaparecerán (Isaías 51:11, DHH). La felicidad se ha convertido en uno de los asuntos más investigados. Las librerías están abarrotadas de libros que se especializan en decirnos cómo ser felices, cómo conseguir ese anhelado producto que todos queremos consumir llamado felicidad. Cada año se publica el Informe Mundial de la Felicidad, donde aparecen los países más felices del mundo. ¿Cómo saben estos investigadores qué países son los más felices? Identificando una serie de factores clave para la felicidad: el producto interno bruto, la esperanza de vida, la ayuda social, entre otros. Tomando lo anterior en cuenta, en 2021 la lista estuvo encabezada por Finlandia, Dinamarca, Suiza, Islandia y los Países Bajos. Y los menos felices son Afganistán, Zimbabue, Ruanda y Botsuana.*En su libro Geografía de la felicidad, Eric Weiner sugiere que efectivamente esos países ricos suelen ser más felices, pero que además del dinero hay que tomar en cuenta la familia, los amigos y la gratitud. ¿De verdad la felicidad está condicionada al lugar donde vivimos? El filósofo francés Blaise Pascal afirmó que "nadie es más feliz que un verdadero cristiano". Sin embargo, muchos piensan que no hay lugar para la felicidad en la vida de un creyente; cristianismo es para muchos sinónimo de prueba y aflicción, de una vida que se lacera a sí misma con un látigo "santo". En muchos casos, el que ha vivido en plenitud su experiencia espiritual con el Señor concibe la religión como un estorbo que reduce considerablemente el deseo de vivir. Pero ¡nada más lejos de la realidad! Con independencia de dónde se encuentre, de cuánto tenga en su cuenta bancaria, de la libertad de expresión que haya en su país, el cristiano siempre encontrará ese lugar donde hay dicha genuina.Los apóstoles no perdieron el gozo cuando padecieron "afrenta por causa del Nombre" de Cristo (Hechos 5:41). Más adelante vemos que "Pablo y Silas, cantaban himnos a Dios" (Hechos 16:25) mientras permanecían encarcelados injustamente. El cristiano siempre anda ataviado con un vestido "de alegría" (Salmo 30:11), huele "a alegría" (Salmo 45:7, NVI) aunque esté atribulado, enfermo, desempleado. Nada ni nadie nos quita la felicidad que Dios ha puesto en nuestro turbulento corazón. Dios ha prometido que los redimidos "encontrarán felicidad y dicha, y el dolor y el llanto desaparecerán" (Isaías 51:11, DHH). Disfrutemos esa felicidad divina dondequiera que nos encontremos.* World Happiness Report 2021, pp. 22-24. 

In this episode we'll embark on an exploration of happiness inspired by the thought-provoking book, "The Geography of Bliss" by Eric Weiner. We'll examine how cultural, societal, and environmental factors influence the concept of happiness. Whether you're seeking inspiration, a fresh perspective, or simply curious about the concept of happiness, this episode is for you.Like what you heard?

Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly as planned.” –Eric Weiner In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Eric discuss the tendency of travelers to idealize the very recent bygone past in places, and Rolf's experience of traveling by freighter ship (2:00); Eric's satisfaction in returning to places he's visited before, such as India, and how to remain open to uncertainty and surprise on the road (9:30); how conversations about travel differ from generation to generation, culture to culture, person to person (20:00); what it was like for Eric to have his book The Geography of Bliss adapted into a TV show, and the nuances behind the concept of "happiness" (28:30); how the experience of travel is inevitably intertwined with the experience of home (38:00); how luxury hotels can insulate you from the experience of a place, and how "adventure travel" is modern concept (43:30); and how Eric's relationship to home, and to time, has changed over the years (58:30). Eric Weiner (@Eric_Weiner) is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author, and speaker. His books include The Socrates Express, and The Geography of Bliss, which is being made into a six-part docu-series, featuring actor Rainn Wilson, and due to air on NBC's Peacock streaming service.

When you think about travel, the first decisions that might come to mind are, “how much time can I get off work?” and “where should I go next?” But are these the most important questions to ask? Philosophical traveler and best-selling author, Eric Weiner, pushes us to think further about our decisions in travel in our final episode of Season 1 for Figuring It Out. Our conversation leads to the creation of a new industry - travel therapy - and introduces philosophical concepts that turn the question of “where do I want to travel next?” into “who do I want to be next?” Eric Weiner is author of the New York Times bestsellers The Geography of Bliss and The Geography of Genius, as well as the critically acclaimed Man Seeks God and The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers.

It's travel season and a great time to revisit our episode with travel writers and illustrators Amber Share and Suzanne Roberts. This week's episode is jam-packed with travel writing. . Our first guest is not a writer, but a graphic designer who began making cool illustrated posters of national parks on an Instagram account called Subpar Parks. Amber Share couples her illustrations with terrible one-star Yelp reviews those parks receive from visitors who weren't terribly impressed with majestic things like The Grand Canyon and Old Faithful. Those illustrations have gone viral and she recently collected them all in book format and included facts about each national park from park rangers. Her book, SubPar Parks: America's Most Extraordinary National Parks and Their Least Impressed Visitors is a New York Times Bestseller. Our second guest is writer Suzanne Roberts, who National Geographic named a “Next Great Travel Writer.” Her most recent book, Bad Tourist: Misadventures in Love and Travel, has received many awards including the Independent Publisher Book Award and National Indie Excellence Awards. She weaves a story of maturing as a woman and becoming a veteran traveler. Her book will make you laugh but it also gets serious, and those serious essays make her humor seem all the more poignant. You can find Amber Share on social media at @subparparks or at her website www.ambersharedesign.com. And Suzanne Roberts can be found on instqgram @suzanneroberts28 or on her website at www.suzanneroberts.net Books Mentioned in This Episode: 1- SubPar Parks: America's Most Extraordinary National Parks and Their Least Impressed Visitors by Amber Share 2- Bad Tourist: Misadventures in Love & Travel by Suzanne Roberts 3- My Antonia by Willa Cather 4- Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather 5- Shadows on the Rock by Willa Cather 6- The Innocents by Michael Crummey 7- The Shipping News by Annie Proulx 8- Dispatches from Pluto: Lost & Found in the Mississippi Delta by Richard Grant 9- The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World by Eric Weiner

Every private startup company that grants stock options or is considering granting stock options needs to consider major issues that could have long ranging impacts: proper documentation and approval of all stock option grants; and their tax implications. Eric Weiner, partner in Lowenstein's Tech Group, joins Darren Goodman and Taryn E. Cannataro of the firm's Employment Benefits & Executive Compensation group to discuss how startups can save time and expense in the granting of stock options, especially in anticipation of an eventual exit or sale. Speakers: Darren Goodman, Partner, Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation Eric Weiner, Partner, The Tech Group Taryn Cannataro, Associate, Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation

Welcome back for another episode of Nick's Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz! Eric Weiner combines his twin passions for philosophy and global travel in a pil­grimage that uncovers surprising life lessons from great thinkers around the world, from Rousseau to Nietzsche, Confucius to Simone Weil. Traveling by train (the most thoughtful mode of transport), he journeys thousands of miles, making stops in Athens, Delhi, Wyoming, Coney Island, Frankfurt, and points in between to recon­nect with philosophy's original purpose: teaching us how to lead wiser, more meaningful lives. From Socrates and ancient Athens to twentieth-century Paris, Weiner's chosen philosophers and places provide important signposts as we navigate today's chaotic times.

Rob Colter and Massimo Pigliucci talk to Eric Weiner, the author of The Socrates Express. In the book, Eric examines various philosophers and philosophies, but our conversation focuses on Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and a number of philosophical traditions close to Stoicism.
