Here’s a talk that could literally change your life. Which career should I pursue? Should I break up — or get married?! Where should I live? Big decisions like these can be agonizingly difficult. But that’s because we think about them the wrong way, says philosopher Ruth Chang. She offers a powerful new framework for shaping who we truly are.

I'm so glad I've found this video. I'm so stuck trying to decide between two career choices and this has helped immensely
that's a lot of words for saying nothing
Não escolher já e', em si, uma escolha.
Grateful!
This is an exceptionally good and helpful video. Im currently practicing media minimalism and I think this advice will now shape how I make decisions my entire life 🙂
Great video
Thanks
You had me at “who to marry!” Using the idea of choosing between two people to marry to teach about hard decision makes for a dreadful, and terrible Ted Talk!
Can't believe 11 years later, this hits me hard as I am judging exactly the same condition, whether to stay or to move. Thank you.
12:03 I'm sorry, that one person laughing tho 😂
