So there's this big river called the Yenisei that feeds through the middle of Russia. And there's a bunch of tributaries off of it. And one of the tributaries is called the Podkomenyatunguska. And I was up there. That river, and just a little ways north is another river called the Bachta, and that's where that village is where they filmed Happy People. So in Siberian terms, we're neighbors. Nice.

And there's something about the natural rhythms that you are in when you're that connected to the natural world that really does feel like that's what we're designed for. And so there's a psychological benefit you gain from spending that much time in that realm. And for that reason, I think that people that are connected to those ways are able to tap into a particular realm.

I noticed it a lot with the natives. So if I met the natives in the village, I would think of them as like unhappy people. Like they drink a lot. They're always fighting. The murder rate is through the roof. The suicide rate is through the roof. But if you meet those same people out in the woods living that way of life, I thought โ€“ These are happy people.
