This video is so much more than I anticipated. I discovered this TED Talk while doing research for an article on behavior change. But Matt Wallaert held me spellbound while he spoke about the issues of our time with powerful insights and a a perspective we all need to hear. Amazing. I'm sharing it on Twitter right now. Thank you, Matt Wallaert.

I believe schools needs to stop teaching us subjects kids will never use IRL. Teach us about human nature , social skills, self discipline.
