Emotional laws are the answer for better relationships: Diana Wais, Greece

| I'm not defensive! You are! Leave me alone! |
Interpersonal relationships represent probably the most complicated ideas that have troubled the human mind.
Whether it's aristocracy, models, professional athletes, or everyday couples, they all face the same difficulty of making their relationships work.
Diana Wais talks about how "we are all the same" and how we respond with criticism when we feel threatened by words.
However, it is important to "respond to the other person's need with empathy," she insists.
It is difficult to understand when we are being emotional and irrational. Her most valid point is that, as individuals, we need to conquer the unconscious emotions and understand that essentially, we are all fighting the same internal fight.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection with a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*
