How My Friend Taught Me to Live an Integrated Authentic Life | Mike North | TEDxWanChai

Описание: As the world shifts from the concept of work-life balance to that of a fully integrated life, we need to consider how to bring together both professional and personal pursuits. Beyond just working on something that we’re passionate about, how do we fully allow ourselves to exist in concert with what we contribute to the world?

Dr. Mike North, host of Discovery shows “Prototype This!", "In The Making”, “ Innovative Design” and “Outrageous Acts of Science,” fuses science with media, opening doors to awe-inspiring experiences and radical paradigm shifts. Mike earned a Ph.D. & Masters in Materials Science and Engineering, and graduated summa cum laude in Mechanical Engineering from U.C. Santa Barbara. He now applies his scientific knowledge to a variety of endeavours, from his teaching days at UC Berkeley, to creating a more equitable planet as founder of ReAllocate.org, going on outlandish climate awareness adventures at savetheice.org, harnessing excess mobile processing to solve cancer challenges as advisor to Compute for Cancer, building robots & IoT devices for clients such as Intel and The Department of Defense at his consulting firm North Design Labs, or creating compelling media for clients like Tesla and Discovery Communications. Mike frequently speaks on the status and future of science and technology.
