Why we need to know our lives matter | Jennifer Wallace

TED Business

About this episode

It’s not enough to do important work — we need to know it truly matters, says journalist Jennifer Wallace. Drawing on her research into firefighters, caregivers and more, she shows how simple acts of acknowledgment and connection can fuel our sense of purpose in a world that too often undervalues recognition.


After the talk, Modupe shares how you can practice gratitude.
