TED | What I learned from 100 days of rejection | Entrepreneurship | Purpose

Dear TED lovers,

We're due for our next in-person meetup, where we enjoy so much the company of regular attendees as well as newcomers that make our TED Meetup family grow every week!

Join us to learn more about how journey through rejection can reveal a world hidden in plain sight, where people are much kinder than we imagine.

About the topic: The Speaker and author Jia Jiang adventures boldly into a territory so many of us fear: rejection. By seeking out rejection for 100 days -- from asking a stranger to borrow $100 to requesting a "burger refill" at a restaurant -- Jiang desensitized himself to the pain and shame that rejection often brings and, in the process, discovered that simply asking for what you want can open up possibilities where you expect to find dead ends.

About the Speaker: Jia Jiang is the owner of Rejection Therapy, a website that provides inspiration, knowledge and products for people to overcome their fear of rejection. He is also the CEO of Wuju Learning, a company that teaches people and trains organizations to become fearless through rejection training. In 2015, he authored a bestselling book, Rejection Proof: How I Beat Fear and Became Invincible Through 100 Days of Rejection.
