In his talk, Siddhartha Prabhakar uses the metaphor of breaking the fourth wall to show how perspective shapes the stories we live in. He explains that we often see ourselves as protagonists trapped in scripts written by society, fear, and limiting beliefs. By breaking this wall, we gain clarity, reclaim authorship, and transform our identity. Through examples of personal and shared breakthroughs, he reveals how shifting perspective not only reshapes our own lives but also creates a ripple effect on those around us. His talk invites us to step beyond the narratives we inherit and write the ones we truly choose. Siddhartha is a passionate debater and multiple award winner, founder of an educational nonprofit, and a science exposition enthusiast. With experience in various leadership roles and as a basketball athlete, he challenges the notion that people must stick to roles assigned early in life. Through his TEDx talk, he aims to inspire others to break free from these expectations, take control of their own narratives, and confidently pursue their unique ideas. 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
