La lista de las primeras veces | Jacobo Bergareche | TEDxValladolid

There are times in everyone's life when everything seems to lose its meaning. Screenwriter Jacobo Bergareche shares how to confront life crises through autobiographical narratives. A beautiful and powerful way to change everything. The day Jacobo told his grandfather he was dropping out of Fine Arts to study Literature and Writing in Boston, his grandfather congratulated him, saying he had the greatest capacity for the useless he had ever seen. Jacobo Bergareche (London, 1976) left his Fine Arts studies at the Complutense University of Madrid to study Literature and Writing at Emerson College (Boston). He has worked primarily as a screenwriter and producer of television series, although he has also spent time working in advertising and for several years ran a mobile app company in Austin, Texas. He has previously published the poetry collection "Playas" (2004) and the children's story collection "Aventuras en Bodytown" (2017). He currently lives in Madrid with his wife and three daughters. He enjoys walking in the countryside, cooking for friends, playing mus (a Spanish card game), and singing ranchera music after midnight. 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
