The path to meaningful work: Chris Bailey at TEDxGatineau
When Chris Bailey completed his Bachelor of Business Administration last May, he received two excellent job offers, but declined them both and opted to start a project called "A Year of Productivity." For his project, Chris read lots of books on productivity, he conducted many interviews with the most productive people in the world, he himself became the subject of his experiences in productivity, such as meditating for 35 hours during a week, living in complete isolation from the world for 10 days, and watched more than 70 hours of TED conferences in one week. The results of his experiments were seen and read by hundreds of thousands of people from around the world. Chris talks about what he has learned throughout his project.
Quand Chris Bailey a terminé son baccalauréat en gestion des affaires en mai dernier, on lui a fait deux excellentes offres d'emploi, mais il a plutôt opté de démarrer un projet intitulé « A Year of Productivity ». Pour réaliser son projet, Chris lit le plus de livres possible sur la productivité, il fait des interviews avec les personnes les plus productives au monde, et il se fait le sujet de ses expériences de productivité, comme par exemple, méditer pendant 35 heures au cours d'une semaine, s'isoler complètement du monde pendant 10 jours, et regarder 70 heures de conférences TED en une semaine. Les compte rendus de Chris ont été vus par des centaines de milliers de personnes de partout sur la planète, et on a pu lire sur le blogue TED officiel qu'il est « peut-être l'homme le plus productif que l'on peut souhaiter rencontrer ». Chris va parler de ce qu'il a appris tout au long du projet.
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)

After trekking out on my own personal "Year of productivity" this January, I found your website in June or July, and have since bookmarked it and read perhaps a dozen or so of your articles. You are doing a great job, Chris and honestly I look forward to seeing more of your work. It's great to see someone following their dreams, and one that happens to be so meaningful not just to your own life, but to mankind as a whole. I really hope that your project continues to grow because people like you need to be alive in this day and age.

Thanks a lot Danielle :-) that means a lot!
Amazing speaker, so confident!
Thank you for this Chris. I appreciate those 3 key words, pleasure, engagement, meaning. WOW! Am starting your Productivity Project book as I gradually return to work after 2 years off. Burn out and depression. I am sure it will help me get on the right track. Again thanks and Happy New Year. Will be following you.
Great job buddy! I love the message. Follow your desired path (or passions) put in the work and you'll fill your life with meaning, which at the end of the day is all that really matters
Congratulations Chris! You really inspired the audience that day! Looking forward to meet you again in the future and I'll share your great TEDx video around :-) We'll hear again of Chris Bailey in the future!
he is good looking and full of confident
Chris, you are awesome!
Thank you Chris you helped me so much!
good work Chris!
Great great talk Chris!
This was incredibly helpful and inspiring, thanks
Well done Chris! I really like what you do, even if I discovered your experiment lately.
Hello, can you do the conference in french?
Great that he's finding meaning for himslef, but it's totally unobtainable for most people. This guy is the epitome of the burnout society. You're not valuable unless your "productive". Productive meaning useful for capital interests.
Geez. What a missed opportunity of a talk. Got very little form this. Meaning stuff at the end was nice, but the rest? A big plug for your site sprinkled with a laundry list of accomplishments. Almost nothing in here about what people actually wanted to hear about: what worked? What techniques brought YOU the most joy and happiness? Very disappointing. Of course I can look on his site. The point of a TED Talk is to provide value though. Not to funnel.

Louelok No, I do. I just think it's one that wasn't befitting a talk of this length in this venue. Shame on the event organizers.

I don't think the event was big though. When you look at the amount of people in there, it seems like the auditorium is small too.
ciao
Wow this is amazing 😍
