One of the evolving conversations within Positive Psychology (lead by Chris Peterson) is the importance of people — to people. In short, if you want to have a more satisfying life (i.e. happier), creating and maintaining relationships in your life is very important. To big ways we invest the time of our lives is in the hours we are at work and the hours we share with our friends.
This week I had the privilege of being in the company of some great companies — and the people who created and work with them. I will write more about them after the haze of activity of the next 8 days is complete, but I want you to check them out for yourself.
The first is The Spiritual Cinema Circle. I have been a member of the circle since 2005. Each month I receive a DVD with 4 or 5 films. There are shorts I know I would never get a chance to be exposed to, and feature films and documentaries that have taught me more than I could ever measure. The same way that I “push” books with meaning, I have been known to hand someone a Spiritual Cinema Circle DVD and suggest which film I thought they should watch! Even more fun, I have watched with my friends.
The other is Zappo’s. How could I not love a company that has a lending library right in the lobby of their main headquarters? My kind of people for sure.
Check them both out. If you long to know of companies and products that can make your life better — these are two good places to start.
