From the moment we enter the school system to the moment we retire, we're conditioned to cede control to those with whom we have little in common and who pursue different lives to ours. Our life is short, yet most of it is spent with people we do not choose to spend it with, in the form of work. What if there was a different way? What if there was a way to unlock the life that you truly want? Mark Asquith is a Northern startup founder who found out the hard way that true happiness isn't about what you have, it's about how you feel every single time you open your eyes. A former design agency owner, Mark spends his time building software for podcasters whilst trying to understand exactly how the world works through the lens of a restless mind and inquisitive nature. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
