Jay Cross helps people work and live smarter. Jay is the Johnny Appleseed of informal learning. He wrote the book on it. He was the first person to use the term eLearning on the web. He has challenged conventional wisdom about how adults learn since designing the first business degree program offered by the University of Phoenix.
Last night I enjoyed watching this documentary on Amazon Prime Instant Video. $3.99.
The documentary introduces us to extremely happy people living in an Indian slum, a Danish co-op, a Louisiana bayou, an African village, the mountains of Bhutan, and farms in Okinawa. No money, all smiles.
Happiness results from personal growth, loving relationships, and accomplishing things that are good for the community. Cooperation generates as much dopamine in the brain as drugs. Altruism, compassion, gratitude, and acts of kindness are doorways to the satisfying life.
If you want to be happy and haven’t thought much about it, see this film.
Welcome to Jay’s hangout on the web! There’s a lot underneath the hood here. I’ve been blogging more than a dozen years. Go to “coordinates” for a list of what to check out and how to get in touch. Don’t miss the Important Stuff collection.
