yeah alright let’s have a start I’m a

yeah alright let’s have a start I’m a psychologist and I’ve been studying

psychologist and I’ve been studying

psychologist and I’ve been studying psychology for more than 30 years now

psychology for more than 30 years now

psychology for more than 30 years now and in those years I stumbled upon an

and in those years I stumbled upon an

and in those years I stumbled upon an enormous mismatch on how we usually

enormous mismatch on how we usually

enormous mismatch on how we usually think about our brains and how that

think about our brains and how that

think about our brains and how that amazing beautiful brain is actually

amazing beautiful brain is actually

amazing beautiful brain is actually working and on this specific moment in

working and on this specific moment in

working and on this specific moment in time while you sit here

time while you sit here

time while you sit here your brain is changing your brain is

your brain is changing your brain is

your brain is changing your brain is changing with an enormous velocity on

changing with an enormous velocity on

changing with an enormous velocity on this moment you make yourselves in your

this moment you make yourselves in your

this moment you make yourselves in your head more than thousands new connections

head more than thousands new connections

head more than thousands new connections each second so you’re changing at this

each second so you’re changing at this

each second so you’re changing at this moment while you’re listening to this

moment while you’re listening to this

moment while you’re listening to this little speech so this old-fashioned song

little speech so this old-fashioned song

little speech so this old-fashioned song sort of frozen look at the brain that we

sort of frozen look at the brain that we

sort of frozen look at the brain that we usually have that is the brain with

usually have that is the brain with

usually have that is the brain with hardware and software and with a hard

hardware and software and with a hard

hardware and software and with a hard disk to keep our memories on that’s not

disk to keep our memories on that’s not

disk to keep our memories on that’s not true at all it’s ever-changing and the

true at all it’s ever-changing and the

true at all it’s ever-changing and the sad fact is that we don’t use that

sad fact is that we don’t use that

sad fact is that we don’t use that knowledge we don’t use that knowledge

knowledge we don’t use that knowledge

knowledge we don’t use that knowledge and so I had this simple idea why not

and so I had this simple idea why not

and so I had this simple idea why not start to make a house there Roo you I as

start to make a house there Roo you I as

start to make a house there Roo you I as the brain with one topic and the one

the brain with one topic and the one

the brain with one topic and the one topic is well-being

topic is well-being

topic is well-being and well-being has got three things that

and well-being has got three things that

and well-being has got three things that we should focus on the first is

we should focus on the first is

we should focus on the first is resilience bounce back from stressful

resilience bounce back from stressful

resilience bounce back from stressful events the second one is empathy try to

events the second one is empathy try to

events the second one is empathy try to understand what other people like what

understand what other people like what

understand what other people like what they do and things like that anthony is

they do and things like that anthony is

they do and things like that anthony is the second one then the third is

the second one then the third is

the second one then the third is happiness not self focused happiness but

happiness not self focused happiness but

happiness not self focused happiness but altruistic happiness these are three

altruistic happiness these are three

altruistic happiness these are three topics of that house that revives the

topics of that house that revives the

topics of that house that revives the brain why should we do that well we

brain why should we do that well we

brain why should we do that well we should do that because we do have

should do that because we do have

should do that because we do have enormous problems we have problems with

enormous problems we have problems with

enormous problems we have problems with brutal assassinations and we have

brutal assassinations and we have

brutal assassinations and we have problems with hundreds of thousands of

problems with hundreds of thousands of

problems with hundreds of thousands of people forced to cross national

people forced to cross national

people forced to cross national boundaries but there’s much more than

boundaries but there’s much more than

boundaries but there’s much more than that much more problems that we should

that much more problems that we should

that much more problems that we should tackle one of them is that there is a

tackle one of them is that there is a

tackle one of them is that there is a worldwide epidemic of depression going

worldwide epidemic of depression going

worldwide epidemic of depression going on and so you can add these few problems

on and so you can add these few problems

on and so you can add these few problems to that global warming plastic pollution

to that global warming plastic pollution

to that global warming plastic pollution everywhere so we need formidable

everywhere so we need formidable

everywhere so we need formidable solutions and there are three facts that

solutions and there are three facts that

solutions and there are three facts that gives us a chance to make those

gives us a chance to make those

gives us a chance to make those formidable solutions and the first

formidable solutions and the first

formidable solutions and the first somewhat surprising fact is that we

somewhat surprising fact is that we

somewhat surprising fact is that we people no longer are able to make

people no longer are able to make

people no longer are able to make something on our own even in computer

something on our own even in computer

something on our own even in computer mouse is so difficult there there is no

mouse is so difficult there there is no

mouse is so difficult there there is no one on the entire planet that can make

one on the entire planet that can make

one on the entire planet that can make such a thing on his own because you need

such a thing on his own because you need

such a thing on his own because you need to know how to get oil to the surface

and you need to know how to make

and you need to know how to make plastics out of that and you need to

plastics out of that and you need to

plastics out of that and you need to know all sorts of thing about

know all sorts of thing about

know all sorts of thing about electronics and software and hardware

electronics and software and hardware

electronics and software and hardware and distribution and things like that

and distribution and things like that

and distribution and things like that there’s no one on the entire planet that

there’s no one on the entire planet that

there’s no one on the entire planet that knows how to make such a simple device

knows how to make such a simple device

knows how to make such a simple device as a computer mouse

as a computer mouse

as a computer mouse and for myself I’m a bit clumsy so I

and for myself I’m a bit clumsy so I

and for myself I’m a bit clumsy so I don’t even know how to make a pen on my

don’t even know how to make a pen on my

don’t even know how to make a pen on my own so we need each other and well the

own so we need each other and well the

people have ideas and those ideas of all those people had sex with each other

those people had sex with each other

those people had sex with each other know those people those ideas had sex

know those people those ideas had sex

know those people those ideas had sex and we made up new solutions and maybe

and we made up new solutions and maybe

and we made up new solutions and maybe those solutions can add to the solutions

those solutions can add to the solutions

those solutions can add to the solutions of the future for those huge problems

of the future for those huge problems

of the future for those huge problems that we face right so the first fact of

that we face right so the first fact of

that we face right so the first fact of life is that we are not alone we are

life is that we are not alone we are

life is that we are not alone we are connected and that we have a dream thing

connected and that we have a dream thing

connected and that we have a dream thing is actually really healthy on the

is actually really healthy on the

is actually really healthy on the longest-running scientific experiment

longest-running scientific experiment

longest-running scientific experiment done in Harvard they found that there

done in Harvard they found that there

done in Harvard they found that there was one thing that made the difference

was one thing that made the difference

was one thing that made the difference between a long and healthy life and

between a long and healthy life and

between a long and healthy life and dying at an earlier age and that one

so make something beautiful they are in

so make something beautiful they are in Leeuwarden so that we can relate to each

Leeuwarden so that we can relate to each

Leeuwarden so that we can relate to each other in an empathic way in a resilient

other in an empathic way in a resilient

other in an empathic way in a resilient way right but there’s a third fact of

way right but there’s a third fact of

way right but there’s a third fact of life and that we humans are so much

life and that we humans are so much

life and that we humans are so much connected to each other with so much

connected to each other with so much

connected to each other with so much linked that we actually contaminate each

linked that we actually contaminate each

linked that we actually contaminate each other with each other’s emotions if I’m

other with each other’s emotions if I’m

other with each other’s emotions if I’m starting to complain about things then

starting to complain about things then

starting to complain about things then the chances of my neighbor starting to

the chances of my neighbor starting to

the chances of my neighbor starting to complain about things is 45% higher and

complain about things is 45% higher and

complain about things is 45% higher and if the neighbor of that neighbor has got

if the neighbor of that neighbor has got

if the neighbor of that neighbor has got a twenty five high percentage a chance

a twenty five high percentage a chance

we humans contaminate each other with

we humans contaminate each other with our emotions so if we pack those facts

our emotions so if we pack those facts

our emotions so if we pack those facts together and start with that first thing

together and start with that first thing

together and start with that first thing that I mentioned it’s all about daily

that I mentioned it’s all about daily

that I mentioned it’s all about daily experiences if we mold our daily

experiences if we mold our daily

experiences if we mold our daily experiences those daily experiences will

experiences those daily experiences will

experiences those daily experiences will mold our brains and then we contaminate

mold our brains and then we contaminate

mold our brains and then we contaminate that around the world that’s our dream

that around the world that’s our dream

that around the world that’s our dream that’s how we want to do work and what

that’s how we want to do work and what

that’s how we want to do work and what we did we started off with a 3d virtual

we did we started off with a 3d virtual

we did we started off with a 3d virtual reality game and some of you I think

reality game and some of you I think

reality game and some of you I think have had a try and it is much fun and

have had a try and it is much fun and

have had a try and it is much fun and the basic thing is that your stress

the basic thing is that your stress

the basic thing is that your stress system is the joystick of the game so

system is the joystick of the game so

system is the joystick of the game so what you learn to do what we teach you

what you learn to do what we teach you

what you learn to do what we teach you to do is that you enjoy having stress

to do is that you enjoy having stress

to do is that you enjoy having stress because stress seems to be unhealthy but

because stress seems to be unhealthy but

because stress seems to be unhealthy but the truth of reasons research is that

the truth of reasons research is that

the truth of reasons research is that your mindset toward stress makes it

your mindset toward stress makes it

your mindset toward stress makes it healthy so if you learn to enjoy stress

healthy so if you learn to enjoy stress

healthy so if you learn to enjoy stress then stress is not is no longer

then stress is not is no longer

then stress is not is no longer unhealthy anymore right so this is what

unhealthy anymore right so this is what

unhealthy anymore right so this is what we didn’t not to

we didn’t not to

we didn’t not to about this we want to do quite a lot of

about this we want to do quite a lot of

about this we want to do quite a lot of things with this making learning systems

things with this making learning systems

things with this making learning systems and things like that so but we do have a

and things like that so but we do have a

and things like that so but we do have a problem we do have a problem and that is

problem we do have a problem and that is

problem we do have a problem and that is that behavior change is difficult

the power of architecture to shape an

the power of architecture to shape an inclusive connected and empathic world

inclusive connected and empathic world

inclusive connected and empathic world and that’s what we’re trying to do with

and that’s what we’re trying to do with

and that’s what we’re trying to do with the house that rewires the brain because

the house that rewires the brain because

the house that rewires the brain because there we use architecture and psychology

there we use architecture and psychology

there we use architecture and psychology to make people aware of the importance

to make people aware of the importance

to make people aware of the importance of the space around

of the space around

of the space around and how they can influence that in order

and how they can influence that in order

and how they can influence that in order to reach the best conditions to flourish

to reach the best conditions to flourish

to reach the best conditions to flourish to feel more connected and therefore

to feel more connected and therefore

to feel more connected and therefore empathic and we want them we offer them

empathic and we want them we offer them

empathic and we want them we offer them in the house several ways how they can

in the house several ways how they can

in the house several ways how they can experience architecture and space around

experience architecture and space around

experience architecture and space around them so that they can get sensitive to

them so that they can get sensitive to

them so that they can get sensitive to how it affects their own well-being so

how it affects their own well-being so

how it affects their own well-being so we want you to know how you can

we want you to know how you can

we want you to know how you can influence space around you in order to

influence space around you in order to

influence space around you in order to flourish the second way we use

flourish the second way we use

flourish the second way we use architecture and psychology is how to

architecture and psychology is how to

architecture and psychology is how to teach people to be in a constructive

teach people to be in a constructive

teach people to be in a constructive relationship with a group or just one

relationship with a group or just one

relationship with a group or just one other person by letting space reacting

other person by letting space reacting

other person by letting space reacting to the stress level of the person’s and

the behavior we teach them how to be in

the behavior we teach them how to be in a good connection with the other person

a good connection with the other person

flourishing and connectedness but how do

flourishing and connectedness but how do we change behavior definitely to take –

we change behavior definitely to take –

we change behavior definitely to take – to change behavior it takes time and

to change behavior it takes time and
