Xuan Liu, is a writer, psychologist, and musician performing by the monikers of DJ SL95 and XUAN.
Graduating from The Juilliard School, Harvard College, and the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Xuan Liu began creating work for himself in the fields of advertising, media, music, and publishing. He has also served as a creative consultant, as a music director and as a show host.
Since 2015, Xuan Liu has been offering practical, positive psychology-based guidance to help professionals and parents find the joy of discovering personal meaning and creativity in a world where the inner voice is often overlooked or overwhelmed.
In this talk, Xuan shares insights he gained in over 20 years as a performing DJ, drawing parallels between electronic dance music and concepts in psychology. It's a masterclass both in the art of DJing, as well as a creative look at psychology, communication, and the 'song' of our lives.
This will be Xuan Liu’s sixth time on the TEDx stage, and his first TED talk to be given in English.

我們都是自己人生的DJ,縱然每個人的音軌、曲線都略有不同,一旦了解其中的意涵,對我們如何與群體建立聯繫有著顯著的益處,可以將相同的概念應用於日常生活,不僅可以提高生產力與溝通能力,最終亦可以改善我們的生活,節奏永無止境,生活也是如此,就讓音樂繼續播下去。
