Weirdness


Your weirdness will make you stronger. 

Your dark side will keep you whole.
Your vulnerability will connect you to
the rest of our suffering world.
Your creativity will set you free.

Hangover

What's better than my all time favourite TED talk?  

Finding out there's a sequel. And it's just as powerful as the first - or maybe more so, because it probes the uncomfortable reality of the 'vulnerability hangover' that followed its delivery. 

It goes to the heart of the paradox of vulnerability: that it's not weakness. That it's our most accurate measurement of courage. That it's the birth place of innovation, creativity, and change. 

And that we can't unlock any of that unless we examine its paralysing flipside: shame.
