Really? Absolutely, says Paula Bloom, clinical psychologist (and self-described liar.) In this lighthearted talk Paula explores how the lies we tell others provide clues to who we really want to be. When we start doing what we claim we're already doing, watch out! Paula Bloom is a practicing clinical psychologist and author whose work focuses on honesty, humor and happiness.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
