Lisa Luckett is a social visionary, an activist for kindness and an advocate of gaining wisdom by experiencing life head-on. Her mantra “Choose Courage” is the foundation of her social vision reminding us that we are strong, resilient and have a choice in how we live our lives. For the past 15 years, she has extensively studied and analyzed the human condition from macro to micro, local to global, personal to cultural. She brings her vast life experience and the wisdom gained from delving in and dissecting personal traumas, events and life-situations to better understand her world and the people in it. This has led to a deep and exponential understanding of our American culture, our global neighbors and the possible trajectories for our future. With a decade-by-decade analysis of social trends and behaviors we can better understand our current social environment and project our potential future options.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
