Reality isn’t something you perceive; it’s something you create in your mind. Isaac Lidsky learned this profound lesson firsthand, when unexpected life circumstances yielded valuable insights. In this introspective, personal talk, he challenges us to let go of excuses, assumptions and fears, and accept the awesome responsibility of being the creators of our own reality.

On that logic this talk is only real because I created it in my mind. By that reasoning the two headed rainbow coconut monster I created in my mind is real.

I actually felt very sad that he lost his sense of sight. It must have been so sad slowly losing such a precious part of the reality we create. He seems to have really overcome that and used it as a strength! Good man.

Starts with science and critical thinking, ends up with reductive generalizations about life based on emotional driving ad hocs to protect the ego and sell some self-improvement mumbojumbo. This is getting old TED…

Somebody loves William Glasser, lol
Wow not only does he speak very eloquently, but the message!! I love how he started off his talk with five potential lies, keeping the audience engaged and then made it ironic. His message to not let fear become your reality is emphasized though the simplicity of his presentation
