So many people never ask themselves what they want. Maybe its because they think they have everything already, or because theyre afraid its too late. But if we dont ask ourselves what we want, theres no way well ever know if our dreams are possible, or what it would take to achieve them. Until recently, that was my story. I was living an amazing, beautiful life, and I didnt feel I deserved to even contemplate anything more. This talk is about why I decided to finally ask myself that question, and what happened when I did. Although Rita Wilson is well-known as an actress and film producer, her most recent projects have all been connected to her passion for music. After achieving her dream in 2012 with the critically acclaimed album AM/FM — an intimate, elegant, and beautifully sung collection of classics from the ‘60s and ‘70s — Wilson has been focusing on a new component of her musical career as a songwriter. Recently, she has collaborated with a number of talented and successful songwriters, composing original material featured on her second album, self-titled Rita Wilson. Her new album Halfway to Home (March 2019) has a fuller sound: Southern California rock meets Nashville country, co-produced by Rita Wilson and Nathan Chapman with additional production from Ron Aniello and John Shanks. Many of the songs were co-written with an A-List group of songwriters, including Grammy winner Liz Rose, Kristian Bush of Sugarland, Mozella, Mitch Allan, and Kara DioGuardi.

Dr. Brené Brown is a researcher professor at the University of Houston, Graduate College of Social Work, where she has spent the past ten years studying a concept that she calls Wholeheartedness, posing the questions: How do we engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to embrace our imperfections and to recognize that we are enough — that we are worthy of love, belonging and joy? Brené is the author of I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isnt): Telling the Truth About Perfectionism, Inadequacy, and Power (2007) and the forthcoming books, The Gifts of Imperfection (2010) and Wholehearted: Spiritual Adventures in Falling Apart, Growing Up, and Finding Joy ( 2011).

Автор бестселлера Сара Найт в своём юмористическом выступлении «Магия пофигизма» рассказывает о «методе не-сожаления»: как прекратить тратить время на те вещи, которые вы не хотите делать.
После пятнадцати лет работы в лучших книжных издательствах Нью-Йорка Сара Найт начала работать на себя. С тех пор её книга «Сегодня я уволилась (и ты сможешь!)» стала очень популярной, а её книга «Магия пофигизма, меняющая жизнь: как перестать тратить время, которого у вас нет, делая вещи, которые вам не нравятся, с людьми, которые вам неинтересны» стала бестселлером.
После побега из корпоративной культуры её становление как «невольного анти-гуру» продолжилось, когда она с мужем переехала в Лас-Терренас в Доминиканской Республике. В своей новой книге Сара объясняет «как взять себя в руки и перестать волноваться о том, что вам следует сделать, чтобы закончить то, что нужно сделать, и начать наконец делать то, что вам нравится». Сара с отличием закончила Гарвардский университет по специальности английская и американская литература.
Это выступление записано на мероприятии TEDx, независимо организованном местным сообществом с использованием формата конференций TED. Узнайте больше на ted.com/tedx
