A formula for happiness | Audun Amundsen | TEDxTrondheim

Have you ever dreamt about leaving everything behind and living a traditional lifestyle in a tropical jungle paradise? In the process of doing exactly that, Audun Amundsen created the documentary Newtopia, a project that became so much more than just a film. For 16 years, Audun followed the indigenous peoples of the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia, learning their unwritten language and becoming part of their community and clans.

His experiences in the jungle contradicted his initial expectations, and provided him with crucial insight into how we measure the mechanisms of our modern globalized society. Over the years following the tribe, Audun has developed his formula of happiness. In this talk, Audun presented the possibility of an ideal modern society model, inspired by the indigenous residents in the jungle.
