How to stop being a renter of your time and your mind | Andrew McConnell | TEDxAtlanta

How do you live life in the present? How do you stop your mind from wandering during family time and work meetings? In this insightful talk, Andrew McConnell explains how taking ownership of our time and our mind is key to a fulfilling life. Andrew McConnell believes the keys to living well in a chaotic world lay in the ancient Greek philosophy of Stoicism.

He is the CEO of Rented.com, a company that helps property owners maximize their rental income and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of “Get Out of My Head: Creating Modern Clarity with Stoic Wisdom.” In the book, Andrew illustrates how Stoic principles helped him navigate the peaks and valleys of his entrepreneurial journey and his experiences as a management consultant working with some of the world’s largest enterprises.

Andrew is a contributor to Forbes, Inc., and Huffington Post and also pays it forward as an advisor to early-stage technology companies. 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
