00:01Okay are we on? Yeah. Okay so hi my name is Trish and on camera there is Dan. We're both
00:07studying
00:07social psychology and we're reaching the end of our second year. We're doing a project on this
00:12guy called Miles Cedars and a book that he wrote called Smile Always and we're interested in some
00:17of these theories about correcting society and how society has an illness and that interestingly
00:22smiling is the cure. So we've been invited here to interview him today which hopefully will be
00:28really good for our project and might even be good for his book sales. Or is that alright?
00:33Seemed a bit formal. No he's really professional. Are you getting them in shot? Really awesome.
00:59Hello. Hiya. Welcome. Is that okay? Yes. Come in. You may have noticed some of our advocates
01:09in the garden. They came here with their lives in tatters and this is their sanctuary. It's
01:16an open house where they can come and go as they please. And to be honest, they'll stay.
01:23Follow me. So you say in your book that smiling has the power to press anarchy.
01:35Unfortunately we are a nation of warriors and in these hard times that worry can manifest itself
01:41as anger, rioting and a general lack of respect for our fellow human beings. People have forgotten
01:48what it feels like to be happy. The techniques we teach place joy as a core energy within bodies
01:57and minds. Imagine a world where people smile at one another even then it becomes the norm.
02:04We want to turn warriors into warriors of joy. Okay. So could you tell us a little bit about
02:12your background because it doesn't really say much in the book about how you actually latched
02:16on to these theories. We came here to talk about my book. Let's remain focused shall we?
02:25Well, if I understand that you wouldn't want us to close us- I'll make us some tea.
02:35That was awkward. Well you're not exactly making it any easier.
02:40Steve has got a lot of weird stuff in this house.
02:47Actually, Danny, can we have a look at these? Get them on camera. It says Miles Cedars Tests.
02:54Hey, stick them in your bag. No seriously, stick them in your bag. They might be good for
02:58research or something. What do you think?
03:02Alright.
03:02I'll get them.
03:07I'll get them.
