Kevin Breel: Confessions of a depressed comic




Listening to Kevin Breel speaking's speech was not very difficult.
Even though every person has her/his own accent when s/he speaks, the issue about he talked was quite simple to catch, in my opinion.
The speaker used a simple lexicon, in fact he talks about depression describing essencial aspects of common life.
Anyway a possible hardle to the comprehension could have been the speed through which Kevin pronounced his sentences.
The title of the video was quite captivating, but when I began watching the talk I remained a bit deluded, cause I was thinking it could be only a vent by the comic. Then I realized he wanted to develop his issue in a more general point of view focusing on the reactions by society, the idea of people of this psycological condition and taking the stock of what can nowaday's people do to beat this problem.

  1. Well done, Mauro. You're off to a good start. Kevin Breel is quite easy to follow, also because he repeats himself a lot. I think it would have been good to hear how he tried to combat his depression, not just how common it is and how it is seen as a stigma. In any case, I wanted to remind you all of TED - such a great and varied source of interesting listenings. Reading the comments below is often a good things to do.
