Happy Movie is a 90-minute documentary that sets out to answer what
makes us happy. Academy Award-nominated director Roko Belic takes
viewers to the bayous of Louisiana to the deserts of Namibia to explore
the secrets behind our most valued emotion. These stories and more will
lead viewers to a deeper understanding of how to live a more fulfilling,
healthy, happy life.<br /><br />Following the film, a panel of NWU
professors who have expertise in the area of happiness and positive
psychology, will share their thoughts and offer insight.</span><br />

Psychology emerged at the beginning of the new millennium as a movement
within psychology aimed at enhancing human strengths such as
creativity, joy, flow, responsibility, and optimal performance and
achievement. Most study of human behavior has focused mainly on what
goes wrong in human affairs: aggression, mental disease, failure, and so
on. While it is essential to study and contain such pathologies, it is
equally important to understand those aspects of human experience that
make life worth living.</span></div>

<a href="http://hbr.org/2011/01/the-big-idea-creating-shared-value/ar/1" target="_blank">Shared Value:</a><br />
"...shared value (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vK3cxnP6I4" target="_blank">video clip 1</a>)... involves creating economic value in a way that also creates value for society by addressing its needs and challenges. Shared value (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF3wsT7FG7k" target="_blank">video clip 2</a>) is not social responsibility, philanthropy, or even sustainability, but a new way to achieve economic success."<br />
<br />
<a href="http://coworking.com/" target="_blank">Coworking: </a><br />
We see great potential for coworking to foster both economic development and positive social connectedness. "Coworking is a style of work that involves a shared working environment, sometimes an office, yet independent activity. Unlike in a typical office environment, those coworking are usually not employed by the same organization."<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Placemaking
is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design and management of
public spaces. Put simply, it involves looking at, listening to, and
asking questions of the people who live, work and play in a particular
space, to discover their needs and aspirations. This information is then
used to create a common vision for that place. The vision can evolve
quickly into an implementation strategy, beginning with small-scale,
do-able improvements that can immediately bring benefits to public
spaces and the people who use them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Actions:</span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Identify the top ten public spaces (streets, bars,
coffee shops, parks, etc.) in your neighborhood that draw people
together and ten great things (reasons to be there, things to do, things
to see, etc.) about each place.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Bring your strengths, drivers, and your neighborhood together to better your top ten public places.</span></li>
