Cho’s comedy career started at age 15, and she later became the star of the ’90s sitcom All-American Girl, where she faced intense industry pressure around her body and public image. Years later, she began confronting the belief she had carried since childhood: that she was unwanted and not enough. As humans, we’re shaped by our genetics, as well as our life experiences. They influence how we see the world — and how we engage with the people around us. That unique lens is called a Perception Box™, and each of us lives inside our own. We can’t escape it. But we can expand it by questioning assumptions and challenging our perceptions. At Big Think, we’ve partnered with Unlikely Collaborators to ask better questions. Perception Box™ is a content series grounded in science that explores what becomes possible when we let go of our limiting beliefs and open our minds to a new reality.
