Currently a second year undergraduate at the LSE, in the Philosophy,Logic and Scientific Method program, Tanvir is the winner of the TEDxLSE 2014 student speakers competition. Undoubtedly a thinker transcending his years, he questions our career-oriented and inherently forward-looking education system. Influenced by Eckhart Tolle, Christopher Hitchens and Sir Ken Robinson, as well as intimate conversations with friends, he has become an advocate of and will talk about the necessity of present moment awareness, and how the roots of anxiety and self-doubt are very much the result of persistent detachment from the now.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
