As histórias ajudam-nos a dar sentido à nossa vida, mas quando essas narrativas são incompletas ou enganadoras, podem bloquear-nos em vez de nos esclarecer. Numa palestra prática, Lori Gottlieb, psicoterapeuta e editora de uma coluna de conselhos, mostra como nos libertarmos das histórias que contamos a nós mesmos, tornando-nos nos nossos próprios editores e reescrevendo a nossa narrativa segundo um novo ponto de vista.
