Pàthei Màthos”: la sofferenza come viatico per la conoscenza | Antonio Mazzella | TEDxIschia
Cos’è la sofferenza? Perché l’essere umano la rifugge, relegandola ad un momento “da dimenticare” della propria vita?
Attraverso la mia esperienza personale e lavorativa, ho cercato di esplorare le pieghe più profonde di questo stato d’animo, sottolineandone invece il suo ruolo fondamentale, declinato in diversi aspetti della vita, per arrivare ad una più profonda conoscenza di sé stessi, dei propri limiti, per cercare di superarli; per cercare di diventare persone migliori e per vivere pienamente la propria vita. Antonio Mazzella è medico specializzato in chirurgia toracica con dottorato in medicina traslazionale e diploma in oncologia toracica presso l’Università Paris Descartes. Si è formato in Francia con maestri di fama internazionale come Jean-François Regnard, Marco Alifano e Françoise Barthes. Attualmente lavora presso l’Istituto Europeo di Oncologia di Milano, diretto dal prof. Lorenzo Spaggiari, centro di eccellenza nella chirurgia toracica oncologica. Esperto in chirurgia mininvasiva e robotica, mette al servizio dei pazienti competenza, passione e umanità. Il suo approccio si ispira a un principio guida: “Curare la persona, non la malattia”.

- 15:56The Science of Burnout — And How Your Brain Rebuilds You! | Agastya Sharma | TEDxYouth@JGISWhat really happens to your brain when you’re burnt out? In this insightful TEDx talk, Agastya Bhuvnesh Sharma dives deep into the neuroscience of burnout — explaining how chronic stress rewires our brain, silences motivation, and weakens emotional control.But there’s hope. Through fascinating research and relatable insights, Agastya reveals how the same brain that breaks down under pressure is also wired to rebuild itself — through rest, reflection, and resilience.From the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex to the dopamine system, this talk explores how understanding our mind’s biology can help us move from breakdown to breakthrough. Agastya Sharma, a 16-year-old IBDP student at JG International School, is passionate about science, education, and social impact. With a strong academic focus on Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, he aspires to become a neurosurgeon, inspired by his curiosity about the human brain and its healing potential. Agastya has led community outreach initiatives with organizations such as Hamari Pahchan and India Recycles, championing education and social equity. A seasoned public speaker and MUN awardee, he is fluent in five languages and is currently authoring a research paper on BDNF-mediated neurogenesis. Balancing academics with badminton and guitar, Agastya envisions opening a hospital that provides affordable healthcare for underserved communities.
