Podcasts about roko belic

Roko Belic knows a thing or two about Happiness. He is living it and sharing it through his work as a filmmaker. His films range from “Happy” which explores this topic, to “Trust Me” which explores the digital age and its implications for our Happiness.    In this open ended conversation Roko and Peter explore the aspects that make up happiness as well as elements which rob us of it. This includes taking the abstract concepts of happiness, contentment and gratitude as well as fear and anger,, discussing the physiological implications then distilling these elements into actionable strategies using real world examples of people living happy and fulfilling lives. This includes how Roko has chosen to live his life inspired from so many people he has encountered on his journey.    The conversation dives into the human hardwiring of fear and anger and how this can be exploited in the modern world, particularly through the spread of information and disinformation to create division. This highlights the importance of recognizing that all humans have more in common at our core than the messaging suggests.    Roko reminds us all how cooperation and compassion play key roles in human survival, how curiosity and empathy can overcome xenophobia and the delicate balance between happiness and fear in today's world.     Ultimately, this interview serves as a platform for YOU to foster happiness in the modern world. Roko's documentaries and the insights gleaned from them serve as reference points to delve deeper into these subjects and provide insights into the human experience.   Here are some of the talking points:   How many people have become disconnected from the physical activities that bring joy and happiness, such as play. Engaging in activities that are physically and aerobically challenging can greatly improve overall happiness and well-being.  By reconnecting with our evolutionary roots and prioritizing activities that promote both physical and emotional health, we can begin to make better decisions for ourselves and our well-being. By embracing the principles of a healthy lifestyle, including a well-rounded diet, regular exercise, and activities that bring joy, we can create a positive spiral that enhances our emotional and cognitive states, leading to a happier, more fulfilling life. Mental capacity and taking risks - They talk about how embracing risks can lead to a more fulfilling life, contrasting this with today's risk-averse society. Backpacking and filmmaking - Roko shares his experiences backpacking around the world and making films like “Genghis Blues”, his first project about the Tuvan throat singers and, subsequently, “Beyond the Call” about doctors performing critical care in war zones . The importance of curiosity - They discuss the importance of curiosity and taking risks in life, and how the growing popularity of ultra-running is an example of people seeking more adventurous experiences. Overcoming challenges and the importance of adaptive stressors in life - They discuss how running helped them to build their endurance and confidence, eventually allowing them to run as fast as their peers and cover long distances in the mountains.  Conversely, they touch on how removing adaptive stressors from our lives can lead to a lack of problem-solving skills and innovation. The importance of prioritizing relationships and experiences over financial success. Happiness was not considered a valid area of study and was often dismissed. However, in recent years, researchers have begun to study happiness and have found that it is indeed a valuable area of research.  The importance of self-acceptance and inner work in achieving happiness. He notes that many relationship issues stem from a person's inner self and how they interact with others. Roko encourages listeners to examine their own behaviors and beliefs to improve their happiness and relationship with themselves and thus with others. The importance of gratitude and how it can enhance our lives. - Everyone has a purpose, something to contribute and a connection to something larger than ourselves. Finding and developing our purpose, contribution and connection can make us happier as an Individual and, through this, collectively as a society.  

in this episode we discuss happiness and how it is unique for everyone. we dive into ideas of inner peace, calm minds, active listening, communication, and taking control of our lives. it is no doubt that many of us have a negative base emotion - but hopefully through the ideas mentioned above and mindful connections with ourselves we can hopefully reverse that base emotion to a more positive one.

Roko Belic describes what happened when he visited ‘The Longevity Village’ in Okinawa, Japan.  

It's Episode 23 and we’re reviewing a documentary! Sam from Conversations with Samantha & chooses Happy, a 2011 feature documentary film directed, written, and co-produced by Roko Belic. Happy is an exploration of the definition of happiness - what makes us happy and what happiness means to different people. Looking at real life stories about different perspectives on happiness - the Brazilian surfer living the dream, Danish co-housing community but also touching on the opposite of happiness - Japanese Karōshi (working to death). The documentary is unlikely to make you happier or change your life dramatically - it's not an exercise in self-help. Surprisingly though it reveals that more money doesn’t necessarily equate to more happiness. Scores [supsystic-tables id='24'] Feeling dated already - remember "Myspace" anyone? Happy is missing a proper international feel and doesn’t really offer anything particularly ground breaking or revelatory but it is a short watch at 1 hour 16 minutes. Scoring 2.6 - the feelings were pretty unanimous across the board. Scoring 2.6 - the feelings were pretty unanimous across the board. What do you guys think? Have you seen Happy? What did you think?

Roko Belic (Originally aired January 2012) Rafe Esquith (Originally aired September 2007) Do you want to feel better? Listen to this week's show. In the first half hour, I talk with Academy-Award-nominated filmmaker ROKO BELIC about his documentary, HAPPY, and in the second half with award-winning LA school teacher and author, RAFE ESQUITH about his book, TEACH LIKE YOUR HAIR'S ON FIRE. Are you happy? How often are you happy? What makes you happy? Does money make you happy? Kids and family? Your work? Do you live in an environment that values and promotes happiness and well-being? Do you expect you're going to get happier? How? ROKO BELIC'S HAPPY, a documentary that I think deserves to widely seen, explores these sorts of questions. It weaves the latest scientific research from the field of "positive psychology" with stories from around the world of people whose lives illustrate what we're learning. When the basic approach to the pursuit of happiness that's been taken by many of us and by society in general isn't delivering, this is a good time to ask some basic questions. It's also a good time to do so because we know more than we ever have about what science can tell us about happiness. And we have access to more diverse models and worldviews than ever before.What's getting lost in your daily shuffle? What toll is stress taking on your body? How could you lead a fuller, happier life? Teaching in Los Angeles at one of the nation's largest inner-city grade schools, Hobart Elementary, RAFE ESQUITH leads fifth graders through an uncompromising curriculum of English, mathematics, geography and literature. At the end of the semester, every student performs in a full-length Shakespeare play. Despite language barriers and poverty, many of these Hobart Shakespeareans move on to attend outstanding colleges.

Thirty years ago, human happiness seemed like a pretty unserious subject for scientific study. These days positive psychology, as happiness research is known, is de rigeur. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Roko Belic ("Genghis Blues") explores the science of contentment in his latest doc, "Happy." Belic traveled to five continents, talking to researchers, comparing the state of satisfaction in various countries and finding some very jolly people. Does happiness depend on our material conditions? Just how much control do we have over our own sense of well-being? And whence the intellectual prejudice that happiness lacks gravitas?

  If you haven't figured it out yet, a big part of this program is trying to figure out what makes people happy. Personally I believe happiness isn't just something that happens. I think we all try to create things in our lives that bring us joy. But as Benjamin Frankly once said The Constitution guarantees all Americans the right to pursue happiness but it's up to each of us catch it. I learned that quote from my friend Los Angeles filmmaker Roko Belic. At the 2011 Mountain Film Festival in Telluride Colorado he shared with me his latest project a movie he calls Happy.   “The way that I got into making Happy is very simple,” Belic said. “A friend of mine named Tom Shadyack called me and said that he had read an article in the New York Times that compares countries in terms of happiness. And this article said that although America is one of the richest countries it's nowhere near the happiest. And Tom said ‘you know this is something I've been thinking about because I live in Hollywood and I'm surrounded by very successful wealthy, talented people who've essentially achieved an exaggerated version of the American dream and yet many of them are not happy. So we should get to the bottom of this and explore happiness in a documentary film.' And I said Absolutely. Sounds amazing!” So Belic spent more than four years traveling the world to explore many different cultures and communities. Along the way asked several leading experts in the science of human behavior exactly what it means to happy. And through the making of this film he discovered for himself and those of us in the audience a few simple answers to one of life's most complicated questions. The film Happy by Roko Belic isnow  in festival and special screening distribution. For more information visit www.thehappymovie.com. Music this week by Jake Shimabukur The Joy Trip Project is made possible with the support of sponsor Patagonia
