Why are tribes living in the jungle happier than we are in the cities? What is the happiness that we have forgotten?
"What is happiness?"
"I feel that my days are somehow unfulfilling"
"I don't know what I want to do in the future and I feel vaguely anxious..."
"I feel lonely because all my relationships are shallow and I can't make deep connections..."
"I am not good at studying and do not know how to improve my skills..."
Global infectious disease pandemics, economic shocks, and a fluid job market. In today's complex society, where the environment changes on a daily basis, we are constantly beset by anxiety and worries.
In such a situation, you may not be able to find a guideline for "What is happiness? and you may be struggling with how to live your life.
As I traveled around the world, I had many choices, and I was in agony every day because I had no idea what I wanted to do.
But then a friend introduced me to a tribe living in the Indonesian rainforest.
I thought, "If I meet someone who lives a totally different life from mine, maybe something will change."
I felt a little uneasy about their self-sufficient life with no internet access.
But their life in the jungle was exciting every day, and I was able to experience things that I normally would not be able to, such as eating beetle larvae, chasing frogs, and taking feces in the field.
It was a very difficult life for me as a city boy, but living with them and listening to their stories changed my values about happiness 180 degrees and made life a little easier.
Their jungle life, centered on hunting and gathering, reminds us of the important human way of life and values that we, who live in urban society, have forgotten.
In this course, I summarize their values that I saw over their shoulders in the jungle and the insights I gained from interviews with five of them, and introduce the 7 Secrets of Happiness of the Mentawai Tribe.
What are the 7 Secrets of Happiness of the Mentawai Tribe?
1) What is "subtractive" happiness, in which the number of conditions determines happiness?
2) What is the difference between our happiness and the Mentawai's happiness from the viewpoint of brain science?
3) What is the "Just Do It" mindset of an elderly couple who built a life from scratch without food or shelter?
4) What is the world of "mutual giving" where if you take care of the jungle, the jungle will take care of you?
5) What is the School of Life where learning and living are directly connected?
6) What is a portfolio that lives in multiple economies?
7) What is the work and life balance with energy efficiency?
I hope that by sharing these insights with you, you will be able to rethink your own happiness.
I also hope that you will enjoy watching the video as if you were watching a TV documentary, as it introduces their life and customs and the interviews.
I look forward to seeing you in the video!
