TED TALKS

So, for those of you who haven't heard of it, TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design), is a conference held in Long Beach, California every year. It has been around since 1984, when it was focused mostly on those three disciplines. Today, it has grown to encompass almost every possible subject and discipline, and draws world-renowned speakers from across the globe.

http://www.ted.com/ is a website dedicated to making the best speeches and presentations from the conference every year available to the public. They are free and downloadable, as well as infinitely rich in content. Some of them might just encourage you to change your life, or at least reexamine your perspective. I would encourage anyone who hasn't seen any of these talks to take a look, and anyone who has, to keep watching.

I recently saw a speech from Barry Schwartz on wisdom.
