SVEGLIA | Jessica Barbieri | TEDxFerrara

How many times have we wondered if it was possible to find fulfillment and happiness in the context of work? The time we dedicate to our work is significant, a full third of our days, so it's inevitable that unhappiness in the workplace spills over into our everyday lives. Jessica Barbieri, a 31-year-old who grew up in the Ferrara countryside, wants to show us that balancing happiness and work can become a tangible reality. Even in an era when many certainties seem to have vanished, she has chosen to pursue her own dream, not that of others, proving that achieving happiness through work is not just a utopia: sometimes all it takes is a wake-up call. Jess was born in the small town of Consandolo in 1992. After spending her childhood in Ferrara, she moved to Milan to pursue a "standard" career. However, at the age of 24, after graduating with a degree in Marketing, she decided to change her life and now accompanies group travels around the world, creates online content and above all, wakes up with a smile. 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
