Need a Fresh Start? How to Master a Life Transition | Bruce Feiler | TEDxIEMadrid

Bruce Feiler, the author of seven New York Times best-sellers, has long explored the stories that give our lives meaning. Galvanized by a personal crisis, he crisscrossed the United States, collecting the life stories of hundreds of Americans who’d been through major life changes, or “lifequakes” as he calls them. In this timely, uplifting talk, he offers powerful, detailed strategies to rebuild our lives in times of uncertainty and transform them into periods of growth and renewal.
BRUCE FEILER is the author of seven New York Times best-sellers; the presenter of two prime-time series on American television; and the inspiration for the drama Council of Dad on NBC. Bruce’s two TED Talks have been viewed more than two million times. Employing a firsthand approach to his work, Bruce is known for living the experiences he writes about. His work combines timeless wisdom with timely knowledge turned into practical, positive messages that allow people to live with more meaning, passion, and joy. His new book, Life is in the transitions: Mastering Change at any age, describes his journey across America, collecting hundreds of life stories, exploring how we can navigate the growing number of life transitions with greater purpose and skill. The book was a Top 10 New York Times bestseller. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    I can’t even describe what my life has been like in the past 6 months, let alone the previous years. I just know I never want to experience anything like it again. I’ve been through enough in my life. I truly want nothing to do with anything from the past. All I want now is a peaceful existence, I don’t care about anything else. People and their opinions don’t matter, I don’t care what anyone else does in their lives, I’m going to live my life, my way and on my terms. I can sum up what it feels like fairly easily by saying that I feel like I’m having to endure someone else’s karma.

    I'm suspect that the content of Bruce Feiler's talk is his own, since the term "LifeQuake" was coined in 2009 by Dr. Toni Galardi, author of the book "The LifeQuake Phenomenon." It looks like Bruce lifted virtually all the key elements from her book, including its "7 Steps," "Tool Kit," "Rewriting your Story," and even her Italian expressions! (And he's not even Italian.) Are we truly to believe that he developed these exact phrases on his own?

    In response to the comments I see… Him saying “What I call..” and inventing or coining a term are two different things. He never said he created the word. Everything written has already been wrote; everything you speak has already been spoke. So the handful of y’all questioning his authenticity can take a walk. What he gave me I’m good with, but y’all call it plagiarism. I call it updated game. Period.

    TEDx, please put down the talk unless Mr. Feiler clarifies on using Toni Galardi's work, calling it his own ideas and terms. If you look into "The Lifequake Phenomenom" and other books, you will find the material he uses and coins as its own. I am perfectly fine with people using the work of others for their talks, there is nothing wrong with it. But its wrong not to quote, and its even more wrong to sell it as his own work. Especially if he makes so much money with it already. Plus, "The italians have a saying" - oh what a coincidence that he also uses a italian saying in his talk ;) I just heard him saying it while rewatching to check my allegations

  • @HylaCassMD
    @HylaCassMD2 жыл бұрын

    I am struck by the glaring similarities of your material to Dr. Toni Galardi's 2009 book called "The Lifequake Phenomenon," a term which she coined. Other examples of your blatantly using her material as your own are the Italian phrases by which she comes honestly (and to a Jewish scholar from the southern US, not so much!). Then there are her "toolkits," her "seven stage model," "Rewriting Your Story..." Jewish ethics - or any ethics, for that matter, would call all this in question. If you like her work so much, then rather than co-opting it, the professional and ethical action here would be to acknowledge your source. Are you willing to do the honorable thing here?

    Did you mean that Galardi coined the term "lifequake" or "lifequake phenomenon?" Lifequake as a word exists on the internet in time-stamped articles as early as 2005, preceding Dr. Galardi's book by 3-4 years, with those sites saying it was a popular term in the 1970s amongst the "hip" youth.

    The idea of a Lifequake was coined in 2009 by A book called The Lifequake Phenomenon by Dr Toni Galardi, so I do not know why you say you made it up?
