This is an eye-opener. It's like a detailed and open articulation of behaviors that have bothered you your whole life but you've never been able to put your finger on, or talk to anyone about satisfactorily because they're so ingrained and widespread

This program was just what I was looking for, a breath of sanity in an insane world !

This has made me realize, we try to make life what it isn't, when really we should be enjoying it for what it is. Thanks for uploading this documentary!

Great Show, great book, too bad I can't get the DVD in Canada...

For me status anxiety is a fear of not being loved. Not being good enough. But the love and admiration that we seek from the outside are really within us.

"Those that go searching for love only make manifest their own lovelessness, and the loveless never find love, only the loving find love, and they never have to seek for it."

— D.H. Lawrence

If you are not loving, love your unlovingness. The rest will follow. :)

why arent there documentaries like this one on discovery or nat geo ? their stuff is much more superficial !

highly relevant in this day and age. I do think we should strive to be the best we can but, and this is what I took from this, along the way nothing else really matters. It doesn't matter of reach the top or go to the bottom. It's hard but we must try.

@s3nn5...Just want to say many thanks for your posting of this very wonderful series, which in fact has had a great impact on me and has ultimately alleviated so much of the stress I was feeling lately. I actually ran into this video by accident while searching for something else, and couldnt stop watching till I finished the entire thing lol...Very interesting, soothing and inspiring.

I loved this one. A good documentary with lots of thinking material, and I think it's also light enough so that most people can grasp the ideas.
