Living Well: A Proposal for Collective and Sustainable Happiness

Based on the research that supported the doctoral thesis entitled “From Happiness to Baniwa Living Well: from theory to the practice of sustainability”, the sociologist Alíria Noronha will address the indigenous perspective of Well Living as an instrument of collective happiness. Because it is collective and prioritizes the common good, the philosophy of Living well presents itself as an alternative of life more sustainable than the happiness of the western world, which is based on the reach of individual desires. Based on learning from indigenous peoples, the lecture offers suggestions on how we can make the right choices to be happier and promote the happiness of others in our daily lives.
