In the first video we watched last Thursday we saw Martin Seligman talk about three types of happy lives. 1. A pleasant life. 2. A life of flow (focused activity in which time seems to stop) and finally, 3.a life of meaning.
I want you to think of / describe a specific time in which you experienced “flow” or when you witnessed it in someone else. I’m very curious about this phenomenon. I think it must be very common, but too rarely looked into.
Your second question is unrelated to the first. What is an issue or concern that you have never seen addressed in a documentary….but would like/love to see? I think the “real” world is full of fascinating stuff. What are people in contemporary missing out on? If someone lists a subject that has a good documentary you are already aware of let them know about that documentary.
1) A time in which I personally experienced “flow” is when I used to play basketball in highschool. My level of determination and concentration would be so high, that I practically emptied my brain of any and everything that didn’t pretain to basketball prior to stepping on the court. I didn’t see any cheerleaders, fans, mascots, or anyone else. It was just me, and basketball. Not to brag, but I flowed myself into a *cough cough* 25.5 ppg average my senior year.
2) I think there should be a documentary about the research and development of understanding autism and its effects. Not one explaining what autism is, but what they’re doing ABOUT it. The reason why this is so important to me is that my oldest brother is autistic. And it pains me to see how much that the city, and its governing body, just don’t care enough to establish any programs to help the autistic be intigrated into mainstream society.
1. My favorite music video is Eminem’s Mosh music video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvVIAAmQGcI&feature=channel
I really enjoy this video because of its cultural relevance and its unorthodox way of tackling serious subject matter with an animated cartoon. The video creates a mood that immediately captures you with its anti-bush campaign and brings us together with a common theme to everybody. The timing of the video was really key in making it work, seeing as how it started airing right around the time our great president started f*ckin up.
2. An example of when music videos and fine art cross, in in Michael Jackson’s old video “Do you remember the time”. The setting brought ancient Egyptian art and style to the world of music videos which made it stand alone from anything else out at the time.
