Relational Eating: Vicki Robin at TEDxSeattle

Vicki Robin, a prolific social innovator, writer and speaker, is co-author with the late Joe Dominguez of the international best-seller, Your Money or Your Life: Transforming Your Relationship With Money and Achieving Financial Independence -- and the upcoming book, Blessing the Hands that Feed Us; What Eating Closer to Home Taught Me About Food, Community and Our Place on Earth (Viking/Penguin 2014) about how her experiment in 10-mile eating not only changed how she ate, but also renewed her hope and rooted her in her community. Vicki has helped launch many sustainability initiatives including: The New Road Map Foundation, The Conversation Cafes, Sustainable Seattle, Transition Whidbey and more. For fun, Vicki is a comedy improv actress, appearing frequently with her troupe, Comedy Island. 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, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in 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.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
