With humor and wisdom, Shlain shares her story, offers lessons she has learned, and provides a blueprint for how to do it yourself.

The Teen Brain

Tiffany Shlain’s most recent film, "The Teen Brain" (executive produced by Goldie Hawn), explores the latest neuroscience on the adolescent years. In this new talk, Shlain brings these ideas to life by exploring what's happening in the teenage brain, illuminating that teenagers are emotionally brilliant, super-learners with brains that are undergoing rapid and significant remodeling and development. Based on the latest research on adolescence, and showcasing both teens and doctors and psychologists, the talk offers tools for teens and the adults in their lives who support them to help them stay balanced and navigate the powerful adolescent years.
