TED Talks Daily
A practical guide to taking control of your life | Cate Hall

Joka aamu minä aloittaisin ulos, aloitin rauhoittamaan, ja sitten olin päivän jälkeen käyttänyt, paitsi ymmärrettäväksi, kun päädyin ulos uudestaan viikonloppuun. Kävin monta kuukautta tällä tavalla. Minulla ei ole paljon muistoja siitä aikaa, mutta yksi asia, jonka muistan hyvin selvästi, on tämä ongelmallinen tuntee ja rauha, jota tunsin, kun katsoin normaalia ihmisiä tekemään normaalia asiaa.

I would see somebody meeting a friend for lunch, and it would seem inconceivable to me that anybody could be that free, that they could just decide what to do with an afternoon. This talk isn't about addiction per se, but I'm telling you this because I really need you to understand where I'm coming from, how trapped I was, before I tell you that my life is amazing now. I'm clean, first and foremost,

I'm married to an incredible man, and we get to do all sorts of fun projects together. And I'm CEO of Astera Institute, a multibillion dollar private foundation that's pioneering a new approach to supporting innovative science and technology. What I do want to talk about today is how I got from point A to point B. What changed? It's not that I got smarter or that I started trying harder.

I think what changed was even more fundamental. It was developing a sense of personal agency, which I think about as the capacity to both see and act on all of the degrees of freedom we actually have. It's about being able to find the hidden doors in the walls of life. I want to argue that when it comes to living a satisfying and meaningful life, agency is actually much more important than the things we usually think about as critical to success.

kuten tietoja ja työtä, jotka ovat toisistaan useita, jos niitä ei tarvita, ja jotka tulevat olemaan vähemmän ja vähemmän tärkeämpiä, kun niitä lisäämme koneille. Näin viimeisenä Garyn Tanin puheenvuoron, Y-Kombinaattorin CEO, jonka tykkäsin todella. Hän sanoi, että tieto on nyt päällä, joten agenssi on vielä tärkeämpi.

For all of the freedom that addiction took from me, I think it actually gave me an unnatural advantage when it came to cultivating agency. And that's because, while agency has many mothers, one of them is certainly desperation. Addicts call this the gift of desperation, actually. The willingness to do whatever it takes to change your life. To embarrass yourself by standing up in front of a room full of strangers and saying, my name is Kate and I'm a drug addict.

tai loppua itselleen monta kuukautta, tai ottaa meditaatioita, jotka laittavat sinut terveydenhuoneeseen, jos syöt. Kun menin terveydenhuoneeseen, minulla oli todennäköisesti seuraavaa työtä. Minulla oli menossa työ, suurin osa ystäviä, ja aikana olin käytännössä menossa kävelemään. Joten kun menin, kävin puoliväliin, ja se oli täysin haastava elämä.

mutta mielestäni se oli itse asiassa hyvä, koska tuntui, että minulla ei ollut enää mitään pysyä. Ja se teki minut epäilemällä ja halunnollisella. Aloitin sanoa kyllä kaikkeen. Kaikkiin liittyviin yhteyksiin, joita joku oli valmis tekemään, toivottavasti se voisi liittyä jotain, joka auttaisi minut päästä takaisin. Muistan vain menemään voimakkaasti. Se ei olisi merkittävä, jos voisin kertoa, miten jotain hyödyttäisi minut. Silloin päädyin keskittämään suurin piirtein kaikkia ihmisiä, joita olen työskennellyt.

Muistamisen tunteeksi auttoi myös oppimaan hyvin nopeasti. Minulla oli kärsimystä, mikä tarkoitti, etten aina ymmärtänyt asioita, eikä pystynyt vaikuttamaan siihen. Joten olin hyvä sanoa, että en ymmärrä, mitä aiemmin sanoit. Voitko selittää se minulle? Situatioissa, joissa olisin voinut ymmärtää asiaa aiemmin. Ylipäätään, ihmiset rakastavat selittää asioita. Se on täysin win-win.

I have great news, which is that you don't need to ruin your life and then rebuild it in order to learn to be more agentic. I do think it helps to be some kind of desperate, but there's always something to be desperate for.

I felt that during COVID, as friends and I watched low-income countries struggle with vaccinations because they lacked adequate cold chain storage. So we created a company that created a shelf-stable vaccine, and we let that desperation drive us into clinical trials in under six months, faster than any startup in history. I felt another kind of desperation early on in my marriage, when it seemed like there was an invisible wall between the two of us.

I also think, though, that it can be learned systematically and by many more people. I want to share some of the tactics I've learned for becoming more agentic. First, assume everything is learnable.

I gave the example of learning to connect with my husband, but I could have just as easily spoken from personal experience about learning to be more optimistic or curious. I think most traits that people treat as fixed are actually quite learnable, if you both believe that they are and put the same kind of effort into learning them that you would anything else.

Second, court rejection. We spend our lives carefully avoiding it, but if you're only aiming for things you get, you're doing yourself a disservice. In fact, sometimes you have to aim for things that feel unreasonable to make sure your instinct about what's reasonable is right. Last time I was applying for a job, I told a couple people, I'm thinking about starting an organization much like your own. Can I run yours instead?

A little delusional, maybe. But the thing is, sometimes delusional works. Third, seek real feedback. Pretty much every one of us has something holding us back that we're completely blind to and that's obvious to other people. Don't you want to know what that is? The single best way to find out is to give people a way to tell you anonymously.

I know that might sound scary. It was to me at first. But it can also be exhilarating. I have an anonymous feedback box linked to my Twitter profile, and it has honestly been life-changing. Not just in terms of the specific feedback I've gotten, but in knowing that I'm not trying to hide things from myself anymore. If I could go back in time five years and talk to the person that I was then,

ja kertoa hänelle, että olisin yhden päivän aikana kokeillut sellaista ilmaa. Ei tarvitse pysyä pysymään. Tehdä mitä tahansa tunnen päiväni. Olla yleensä onnellinen. En olisi uskonut sitä. Mutta se on henkilökohtainen agenssi.

No matter how stuck you are, if you can learn to locate the doors hidden within you, you can unlock inconceivable kinds of freedom. Thank you. That was Kate Hall speaking at TED 2025.
