A forma como nos ensinaram a viver precisa de mudar, diz o autor Casey Gerald. Muitas vezes, escondemos parte de quem somos para nos encaixarmos, para ganharmos elogios, para sermos aceites. Mas a que preço? Nesta palestra inspiradora, Gerald revela os sacrifícios pessoais que fez para obter sucesso nos altos escalões da sociedade americana — e mostra-nos porque é que está na hora de termos a coragem de viver na magia bruta e estranha de nós mesmos.

Aceitem a vossa magia bruta e estranha

Success often demands that people hide their pain, identity, or difference to fit in, but that bargain comes at a steep personal cost. After being recruited to Yale, holding impressive jobs, and nearly running for Congress, one man realized that achievement built on self-erasure left him cracked and unfulfilled. He argues that the real work is not just coming out to the world, but also embracing the raw, strange magic within. Drawing on the story of Lot’s wife, he calls for the courage to stand with society’s outsiders and build a world where no one has to hide.
