Self-Discovery in the Western World

Nadia Manzoor

Nadia P. Manzoor, British-Pakistani writer and performer shares the struggles of her traditional conservative Pakistani upbringing, where she was considered rebellious and a failure to her family. She shares her journey of self-discovery through a sea of secular ideas in the Western world, while still trying to hold on to her Pakistani identity. Her discussion with Deepak Chopra sheds light on important topics of conversation that are often overlooked about freedoms, culture and finding oneself against the odds of ethnic values.
