Life and Joie de Vivre | Dr. Ruth Westheimer | TEDxBerkshires

“You can’t be a risk taker and expect to win each and every time. If you could control the future, then you wouldn’t be taking any risks. And while failure leaves a bitter taste in your mouth, the sweetness of winning more than makes up for it, and you’ll never win at anything unless you take a risk in the first place.” ~Dr. Ruth
Dr. Ruth Westheimer is a psycho-sexual therapist who pioneered speaking frankly about sexual matters on radio with her program, Sexually Speaking. It began in September of 1980 as a fifteen minute, taped show. One year later it became a live, one-hour prime time show. Dr. Westheimer's shares her expertise and message on television, books, newspapers, games, home video, computer software and her own website, www.drruth.com.
