In a world full of pressure, distraction, and competing stories about what makes life meaningful, students and teachers can feel uncertain about who they are and where they’re headed. Dr Justine Toh helps audiences recognise the cultural forces that quietly shape our choices and values – from the drive to achieve to the stories we tell about freedom, identity, and human worth. With warmth, humour, and thought-provoking insight, she invites people to pause, reflect, and see themselves and their world in new ways.
