Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Oren Levi discuss the phenomenon of a library where instead of books, you sit with other people who tell you their life story. What can we learn from such a phenomenon? Watch the video to find out. The following is a transcript of the video: Oren Levi: There's a new thing: you go to a library and instead of books, you have people. You sit with a person for half an hour and he tells you his life story. 200 people with a unique life story were chosen and they sat at the library. Today, the world is full of lonely people. What if this approach could help us wipe out the problem of loneliness? What do you think people should talk about? What would make such a conversation worth their while? Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman: Conversation that would advance people in their own life. What is man? How does a person perceive his environment? How does he perceive life? How does he change throughout life? Unfortunately, we don't understand life. In order to understand life we need to understand human nature. That's unclear to us, unknown to us, and therefore we don't understand the world and we don't understand life. How can we know more about who we are and how do we depict the world through ourselves? How can a person change his perception of life to seeing a happy life instead of a sad one? Oren Levi: Do you think that if people will talk about these things, then their life will become more colorful? Dr. Laitman: They'll see that there are many more things in life that they previously paid no attention to. And now they can.
