Where: McClendon Tower media room, 2nd floor
Why: The Self Knowledge Symposium presents: A viewing and discussion of Akira Kurosawa’s acclaimed movie Ikiru on Thursday April 17 from 7 pm-10pm. This is the 3rd and final in our Authentic Happiness Film Series. As Graduate Students, we can get caught up in assignments, deadlines and research. Perhaps you have even perfected the balancing act, but are you happy? Ikiru is a movie that challenges our thinking on what living really means.Is having a great job enough? What about family and great friends? Are these requisites for achieving authentic happiness? Are there some deliberate steps that a person can take to live in such a way that life itself becomes a joy? Please join us as we view this movie and discuss its implications for our own lives as students, friends, and family. The venue is the media room on the 2nd floor of the McClendon tower (McClendon 2).

Sponsor: Self Knowledge Symposium
Where: Soc Psych 126
Why: The Duke Self Knowledge Symposium, supported by a campus grant from the Kenan Ethics Institute, is proud to host a film series this Spring entitled “Authentic Happiness.” The pursuit of happiness is central to our lives, but is rarely explicitly discussed. Our goal in this series is to promote deeper thought and discussion about what happiness really is, what leads to a happy life, and what personal ethics has to do with happiness.
The second movie in our series is “Happiness,”. It follows the lives of three sisters and their families. This black comedy attempts to lift the façade of daily life and in so doing allows for ample opportunity to discuss how individuals truly try to obtain happiness.
This event is made possible by funding from the Duke Kenan Institute for Ethics
