Covet: Activism is no sorof my day to day job. And i do not limit activism to just appearing on stage and doing a t v interview or visiting a refugee camp. I think when you are an activist, you have to show that you are reflecting the message in your own actions as well and how you live your life. You know, sometimes you have to make tough choices,you have to ask tough questions. It does require a lot of strength to do that. So i look back and i think about that malala who wanted the world to speak out for me. so i feel a sense of responsibility, because i wish more people had spoken out for her.
Nobel Peace Prize winners feel burnout too. Malala Yousafzai - who survived an assassination attempted by the Taliban - works tirelessly so that more women and girls can access education. But she often feels guilty at taking time off, but knows she must to avoid burnout.
She shares her tips with Dr Laurie Santos on how to achieve work/life balance; how to deal with disappointment; and how to build bridges with people we disagree with.
