Bryce Dallas Howard: How to Preserve Your Private Life in the Age of Social Media | TED

Growing up in the public eye, multi-hyphenate creator Bryce Dallas Howard experienced the familiar pressure to share her life with the world on social media. But with her mother's steadfast guidance, Howard learned to set personal boundaries and savor the beauty of private moments. In this personal talk, she draws on three generations of family wisdom to remind us that "a private life makes a public life worth living."

Deleted Facebook many years ago, I have no reason to put my life on social media. I love my life and that's all that matters.

Bryce is an amazing actress! I loved watching her in 'Black Mirror.' I can't believe I didn't discover this video up until now. She is so inspiring and intelligent.

Great story telling, insight and food for thought while raising a teen myself with very limited social media. What gets me, actually crosses boundaries, when others choose to post photos without permission on social media. Wish they would ask permission before posting (rather than me reminding them not to) in addition to following the 48 hour rule. Great advice!

She’s one of the good ones. Great speech!

Balance between your private life and your public life. And well, I really, really love this speach, so much needed. I find myself between delete my social media and keep it because I am a really private person and bothers me people thinking that you have to post every single piece of your life and I disagree. What I like most about social media is the possiblity to see the world through different eyes and culture and people, and also the memes lol. Well, you have to be balanced and careful people....

What a beautiful testament to the love and respect you have for both your parents. I relate to this as i was raised very similar. Mom and Dad were a United front despite being divorced. Thank you for sharing so eloquently a piece of you and some of the greatest advice that Anyone can benefit from. 🙏

Great talk! I'm really struggling with this right now. Feels like I need to share everything with the world, but I have no clue why.

[giselebarana]

Amazing history thanks a lot for share with us....good advices...

[Dimaz]

I could use some of her ideas, especially about finding the purpose to share and delaying to publish stuff that you might regret later on.. and to find ways to toughen up and make a better version of ourselves
