The conversation

The official programme places friendship, forgiveness, generosity, gratitude and purpose at the heart of this talk. Rather than offering a simple formula, this keynote gives audiences a way to reflect on relationships and the meaning they find in work and life. Dr. Chopra’s work as an educator and author informs the conversation, while his TEDxBU recording offers a separate opportunity to hear him address related ideas. It can suit a clinician gathering concerned with meaning in medicine, an education programme asking students to think about purpose, or a leadership event looking beyond performance alone. The organizer can identify whether relationships, gratitude or purpose should anchor the discussion for their audience.
