http://www.ted.com When the dotcom bubble burst, hotelier Chip Conley went in search of a business model based on happiness. In an old friendship with an employee and in the wisdom of a Buddhist king, he learned that success comes from what you count.

    A great speech. The idea he describes is the doorway to a more humane world.

    The pointof the video is that we need to change our view of how we conduct business w/ customers. You may have filled out 700 hundred applcations but your outlook on life is sad and depressing , perhaps if you changed you attitude you would get a call back or even a job.

    That was absolutely brilliant!

    If you liked this talk, have a listen to some of Jacque Fresco's philosophies.

    It's along these lines.
