So true. This is the only sentence stuck in my mind on the entire speech. Been meditating on it.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm sorry to those of you who found the rhyming distracting. My other videos on my youtube channel may be easier to make sense of. To those who found it embarrassing to watch, think how embarrassing it was to do!! ;) I also know 'struggling' and 'beating' the voice is just one possibility and you can also 'accept or choose peace', but different things work for different people. To those who found it helpful or useful at all, really glad it made even a bit of a difference... that was the point. I really appreciate your kind comments and sincerely hoped it connected with you.

As someone who has only recently begun to find success in a life-long fight against low self-esteem - thanks for this talk, Dr. Fitzpatrick. I found the spoken word portions beautiful and insightful. The rap portions were uncomfortable to listen to, but I felt it was intentional, even necessary for your message. It's why I found it so inspiring - I felt like I was watching you flip the bird at that inner voice on stage by creating that discomfort. I couldn't help but admire the courage it took to go out and share your story in such a vulnerable and powerful way.

Wow 🤩

a true master psychologist with apparent skill in language and memory. its hard for anyone to give a tedtalk alone just from slides. was delightful to watch.

I learned how to manage my mind years ago after sequels of depression and anxiety. I identified my pattern of thoughts as the problem. I learned with books how to teach and reset my mind and also developed my spirituality and those two things got me out of that dark hole. Now I can identify unhealthy thinking patterns and I know how to manage them. All this requires inner knowledge, patience, determination, and a lot of self love too. ❤

Owen, what a very unique delivery. You surprised, educated, thought-provoked, entertained, charmed and enthralled the audience with your talk. Thank YOU.

i read a story at Mindcontrol SE -web page , about the mind technology chip. (mindtech sweden) it helped me, and i have exactly same things and effects happened. i have chip too . Had it 3 years,1st year they listen my thoughts, and effect my natural use of attention, second year they touch my body motoristics and also start the kind of mind reading torture you described - they seem to use it to keep man not doing anything. they can react from your observations, and they follow your use of your attention to notice things in world. They can repeat my thoughts as words but they seem to be building systems where other persons say parts of the sentence im going to say. They can jam my thoughts for a half second and prevent me from thinking a word, and they say that word themselves then. They study how man use the memory of another man. Another man can use my memory. Human brainwaves are so similar that they can do this so another mans brain system understand another man brain. They send my all senses brainwaves data to another man, and with smaller effect his brainwaves to me. the brainwaves coming from another man are send to me fragmented. Now its been about 3 years, and he he tries to CONTINUE my started thoughts. The system is digital, and digitally controlled. I've seen medtronic nuclear battery and implant combination and such but i don know which firms chip i got (darpa or medtronic or ). i suspect it was installed when my wisdom teeths were moved, and installed in place of teeth , or close to brain via mouth, it took an hour (too much ) . I have travelled around the world, and it still worked, in aeroplanes , and in new zeland, or finland. It uses satellite system. they can see through my eyes of course. the chip is still active and i can speak with the people who torment me . They effect to use attention and in case of some people they can make him feel someone means to look at him like they know him or even that someone is stalking him, its because the other people connected to him via chip, is effecting his use of attention and feeling something about those people.

I have often told people that I don't listen to music is because our brains are wired to accept the rhythms and rhymes as truth. The lyrics in songs become part of our thinking, that takes away from my ability to think for myself . That music can and dose hijack the mind. You have used this predilection of the human mind to resonate to the patterns in the music of speech very effectively. Not just your rapping but the rhyme you put to your reason. I will be watching this talk many more times as I fight my own battle with the bully in my head. Thank you for this valuable tool.

"You're like Eminem without the skill, words, or timing." Real life laugh-out-loud at that line! Thank you, Owen, for the powerful message and unforgettable delivery. Tears of gratitude over here.

Just came across this whilst going through my own "internal war"; it made me smile, it related, it helped. One of the best videos I've watched on the subject. Thank you Owen.

"Convicts of our own convictions." Brilliant

I literally just watched this video twice. I have to comment twice. I'll probably keep commenting again as I watch this over and over. I absolutely adore everything about this speech. It's not just the rhyming and the way it was delivered, but so many valid points connecting for me. For example, the reminder of how important cognitive behavioral therapy is and that we can write our own story. This speech isn't just another piece of content. This speech is a masterpiece. It is a Ted Talk and a motivational speech all in one. My heart lights up every time I watch this. Owen Fitzpatrick, thank you so much for taking the time to make this contribution to humanity. It means so much to me.

The key in battling in this war: Pushing back Refusing to accept it choosing to reject it

When he said that being depressed isn't thinking negatively but believing negatively .... amazing. That is an excellent way of putting it.

I'd love to have coffee with this guy!

Wow, this is a very strong message, I dont think I have seen anyone put so much thought into how to create an entertaining, poetic, educational speech all at once and for 10 whole minutes! I take off my hat to you, it is inspirational.

What a video, just loved it. Every individual is going through a war inside their head and let us be the warriors and stop the genocide by our mind.

The acting was on spot. Matter of fact, this is what happens in our brain, a constant struggle! Nice to remind ourselves who's in control!

Owen Fitzpatrick , you're an amazing person. One of the most influential Ted Talks I've ever seen. Such knowledge & light you've shed on an important topic that it's become priceless! I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful one-way interaction. Please keep spreading the light and I'll follow.

I am watching this over and over...I just loving it, the content, the presentation....simply amazing..way to go Owen!!

Owen: I am determined to spread your video. I truly believe it saves lives...People look outside and the dialogue is inside...and yes it is about being stronger and GRATEFUL! So thank you! Nice soul you have for sharing this.

Even though someone is trying to control me, I'm too strong to really let someone do this to me.

What a masterpiece. Overwhelming, inspiring, truthful, vulnerable and strong - just wow.

That was great even though it made me anxious for some unknown reason. Maybe it was because I was hearing and seeing truth.

Brilliant! Irish ppl that get exposer to the world and other cultures end up being some of the greatest minds in todays sociates! This talk is very helpful

THIS OMG! This is the BEST Ted Talk I've EVER seen. I don't think ANYTHING will ever top this. I loved this ted talk! This is the most poetic speech I've ever heard. The effort that went into conveying his thoughts and the important points he makes all while emphasizing it in dramatic fashion is so damn good. I cannot applaud this enough. Well done! 👏I wish I could give this video a million likes.

This was amazing! To do a coherent, effective 10-minute speech in rhyme and do it well! The beauty of TED-talk is that folks from different experiences bring unique, creative approaches to share their personal experience with the world. This was one of the most creative I've seen yet! Cheers to you for your creativity and courage! And a sincere thank you, from another human who battles with her mind.

When I hear too much to my negative inner thoughts I use your presentation as a mental readjustment. Usually at least once a week I listen . Thanks to your help I can keep the self-negativity at bay. Thank you Sir!

WOW!! good talk owen!! the king is back and will reign.Write your own story be the hero not the victim... needed to hear this some of us are our worst critics x 2million

This is great, sometimes it's hard to listen to ted talks when you are feeling low. When you're sad, it's hard to find things interesting. The rhyming really helped fight this. I also liked how the "rap battles" interrupted the poem. It felt like a metaphor for how overthinking interrupts any time. This really helped me, thankyou!

This is one of the most creative ted talks I've seen and it touched my heart

I'm glad I watched this talk. He delivered his message so creatively and so powerfully.

God this touches a very sensitive nerve! The raging war in my head! The negative voice in my head, sometimes I feel like it's two separate worlds the one in my head n the one outside, and sometimes I just say to my self "God I just wish I could live outside my head, then I will see how beautiful the world is" !! It is really so tiring! But just remember it's just pointless meaningless bored voices that just want to say sth! We're not the voices in our heads! We're more beautiful, more free n more stronger! Thanks

Goosebumps at the end there. Very phenomenal lecture.

one of the best Ted talks ever. totally amazing and relatable in every way xx

Damn this guy is a genius

Bars that break bars. For daaaays. Thank you for this Sir. Fitzpatrick. Holy. Holy. Frick yes.

5:15 - 5:16 "We're all mental slaves on the wrong side of history." That one hit me deep.

Fantastic as always Owen!

Incredible, Owen! How you could remember all that is HUGELY impressive, and how the whole lot became a rhyming poem is highly obsessive!
