TED is an annual conference that brings together the worlds most fascinating thinkers and doers who are challenged to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes.
If you haven't come across it before you have got to check it out. The best of these talks are available free on www.ted.com—you can also hear some through Sky on the EMTV channel
Many of these talks will blow you away so take some time to browse but here’s suggestions to get you started:
“A Stoke of Insight” — Jill Bolte Taylor is a Brain Scientist who got a research opportunity few scientists would wish for—she got to study herself having a stroke and came up with some amazing insights on the connection between stroke, energy and our brains.
“Why are we happy” - Dan Gilbert gives some interesting evidence to challenge the idea that we’ll be miserable if we don't get what we want
“Do Schools kill creativity” - Sir Ken Robinson delivers a speech as good as stand up comedy but with some really thought provoking ideas
“Classical Music with shining eyes” Benjamin Zander takes an unusual and funny approach to help increase the worlds appreciation of classical music
Enjoy !!
