Fri, 5/18, 7pm, Film: The Economics
of Happiness: "The number of Americans who say 'Yes, I'm happy with my
life' peaks in 1956 and goes steadily downhill ever since." This film is a
great discussion starter that looks at how localized living can not only
address the environmental and economic crises, but also lead to more
fundamentally happier lives. Featuring interviews with Bill McKibben, Vandana
Shiva, Rob Hopkins, Samdhong Rinpoche and many others. The Economics of
Happiness has traveled to film festivals in Peru, Australia, the Czech
Republic, the Netherlands, Spain, Canada, and all over the U.S. Welcome it to
Newport, Vermont. Followed by a Q+A with co-director, author, and Sterling
College professor Steven Gorelick and a discussion of the economics of
happiness here in Newport. $5 donation encouraged.
