The Bipolar Social Club | Paul English | TEDxBoston

NOTE FROM TED: This talk represents the speaker's personal experiences with and understanding of bipolar disorder. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
The Bipolar Social Club is a community of people who've come together to help each other on our mental health journeys. Paul M. English (born 1963) is an American tech entrepreneur, computer scientist and philanthropist. He is the founder of Boston Venture Studio, and previously co-founded and served as CTO of Kayak. In 2012, Kayak was acquired by Priceline for $1.8 billion. Before Kayak, English had created a number of companies, including the customer service company GetHuman; the e-commerce website-design company Boston Light, which was acquired by Intuit; and the anti-spam software company Intermute, which was acquired by Trend Micro.
English co-founded Summits Education, a network of 41 schools in Haiti, created in partnership with the Haitian Ministry of National Education and Partners In Health, a non-profit where English serves as a director. He also founded King Boston, a racial-justice project which includes the creation of a memorial to Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King at Boston Common and the King Center for Economic Justice in Roxbury, Boston. 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

The Bipolar Social Club is a fantastic source of community, empathy, encouragement and support. I’ve experienced a few different types of support groups, including an in-person bipolar support group at a hospital. I also spent a lot of time on the bipolar subreddit r/bipolar. BPSC is unlike any other group I’ve tried. There is a high level of respect and professionalism, and it feels safe to the point that it’s almost too good to be true. I am inspired by others who have learned how to achieve big things while maintaining mental balance. Highly, highly recommend.
