13 Lectures on Myth

These lectures on myth all look critically at popularly held but false beliefs and ideas, and expose the truth across a variety of industries and fields. The speakers have the authority to do this on a number of levels -- from highly successful business executive sharing wisdom gleamed from professional experience to health psychologists with PhDs sharing research-backed findings.

Kevin O'Leary of Dragon's Den and Shark Tank discusses the myth of the work-life balance. His undying entrepreneurial focus keynote dismisses the idea that freedom can be found by going after financial wealth as well as other personal goals. In another of the lectures on myth, scholar Robyn Stein DeLuca explains why PMS isn't real. Todd Rose takes a more motivational approach with his talk on 'The Myth of the Average.'
