How to Be the Best You: Marie Kondo, Esther Perel, Roy Spence & More [Videos]
With speakers from organizing expert Marie Kondo and President and CEO of Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson to physician and former Assistant Secretary for Health Karen DeSalvo, the Be the Best You Playlist brings tools for wellness, more good days than bad, and how to be the best you.
The speakers in this playlist make up just a fraction of the industry leaders and creative talent in attendance each year at the SXSW Conference. All of our programmed sessions seek to honor SXSW’s original vision — by bringing people from diverse industries and backgrounds together to meet and exchange ideas, share inspiration and develop their careers, SXSW sessions help creative people achieve their goals.
Bernard J Tyson | 2018
As we continue to advance health in the 21st century, we must go beyond just treating physical conditions in isolation. Mental health affects physical health and vice versa. Just as you would schedule an appointment with your physician if you develop high blood pressure, primary care visits should be used to proactively discuss and educate people about mental health and wellness.
Karen DeSalvo | 2018
Speakers discuss how civilization needs to re-engineer how it meets basic human needs — food, shelter, community, transportation — so where we live & what we eat makes us healthy by design. The panel discusses how we can stop fighting modern life and start refactoring it.
Esther Perel | 2018
Relationships are going through a complex cultural shift. Expectations on intimate partnerships are at an all-time high, yet we lack the tools and resources to reach this new Olympus. Join iconic couples therapist Esther Perel as she shines a light on the state of modern love, the importance of erotic intelligence, and how listening to the stories of others helps us navigate our own relationships.
Marie Kondo | 2017
Marie Kondo (“KonMari”) is a Japanese organising consultant, author and visionary entrepreneur. She developed a revolutionary method of organizing known as the KonMari Method, which consists of gathering together everything you own, one category at a time, and then keeping only those things that "spark joy" – as well as choosing a dedicated place to store them. Going far beyond a typical “tidying how-to”, her method is a way of life and a state of mind that encourages you to cherish the things that bring you true joy—a refreshing alternative to today’s mass consumer society.
Roy Spence & Matthew McConaughey | 2018
In today’s world of hyper-connectivity, people are feeling more disconnected from themselves and their core purpose — both in life, in their work and even in their country — than maybe ever before. In the real world, and social media world, too, there seems to be a designed plan to foster a world of constant chaos and a more damaging US versus THEM social disorder. This is where the power of Purpose comes in. Finding Purpose in your life and your life’s work is an energizing and powerful force to counter chaos and divisiveness. Companies also need the North Star of Purpose and so do countries. Roy Spence, CEO and co-founder of The Purpose Institute, has made it his life’s journey to discover and bring to life the path to Purpose and higher calling for leaders of companies.
