#ICYMI： An update from Head of TED Chris Anderson on the future of TED.wav | In the last few years, we have faced a new enemy. It's algorithms that were probably created in for good intent, but they were created to maximize attention, which played right into this human cognitive bug of teaching millions of millions of content providers that the way you get attention is to stoke people's fear, to play up threats, to show that the other is really dangerous. And to create this world, it's increasingly fractured world, where we're all addicted to things that make us angry at one level. And I don't think any of us prepared to seed the future to those algorithms and to that version of humanity. Knowledge, insights, ideas, and attempt to persuade people to be their better selves, and attempt to bring people together, and attempt to be non-partisan and to listen to people from all sides. Hello, the world really, really needs this. I think the world needs Ted or Ted in partnership with other things more than ever, where it's such a crucial point in history, the stakes could not be higher. You've heard the bones of the announcement, I've invited a new steward to present themselves, and if that happens, they will get all of Ted, the organization, conferences, the events, the brand, that, like it's a lot. So letting go is counterintuitive for any organization, but I'm convinced that it is the key to unlocking possibility. |

25 Years after Phantom Menace, Jar Jar Binks Actor Ahmed Best Reflects on the Power of Redemption.wav | We as people who love stories and storytellers, we love redemption stories. We go through these cycles and as we get older, we realize the follies of our youth. Our thought processes are completely different from when they were as younger people or as people, you know. We could go two weeks ago, a month ago, a year ago. And we get to sit and look at and listen to and read a perspective that we didn't necessarily have. And that generally brings about a change of mind, a change of thought processes. So I think unless you're truly awful, there is always redemption. America is very, very prolific at destroying someone, especially when they're at the height of their powers. But it's also very good at recognizing redemption when it comes and celebrating. |

3 Steps of Anxiety Overload – And How You Can Take Back Control @TED #shorts #ted.wav | So what makes anxiety healthy? Anxiety is healthy when it is serving as an alarm system that lets us know that something's not right, that it gets our attention and helps us to keep ourself safe. The only time we consider anxiety to cross the line from healthy to unhealthy is under two conditions actually. One is when we have anxiety, but there's no threat that there's nothing wrong. So if it's a lovely Sunday morning and you're taking a drive and there's no traffic nearby, you shouldn't be having an anxiety response in that moment. And if you do, we would consider that grounds for concern. The other time we pay attention to anxiety and consider it to be unhealthy, is if the anxiety response is way too big for what's happened out of proportion to events. So if somebody swarves and cuts you off and you have a panic attack in that moment, that is not healthy anxiety, it is not helping you, and we would address that clinically. Other than that, we really see anxiety as largely normal protective, healthy, and useful in our lives. |

5 Parenting Tips for Raising Resilient, Self-Reliant Kids @TED #shorts #ted.wav | How do we raise self-reliant kids who have initiative, our resilient, and can be problem-solvers? I believe we do that by raising kids who can think and act entrepreneurily. Whether a child chooses to build a company or become an employee, it doesn't matter. Because every kid needs to learn how to think like an entrepreneur. And the sooner we do this as parents, create an environment at home where they have the opportunity in multiple occasions to challenge their beliefs about what's possible within them, to step outside of their comfort zone, to take risks, to learn from failure, to bounce back from rejection. Then the sooner we'll put them on the path of living out their potential, to lead very fulfilling and successful lives. |

@TED Behind The Scenes #tedtalk.wav | Did you know that Ted headquarters in New York City actually has a theater built into the office? Let me show you. So if you walk in here, this is actually our control room, where our director, our AD, our camera operator sit, and basically make all the magic happen so that you can see it online. Walk down this little hall here. There is makeup. There is a green room, which is super exciting. And if you come and follow me, you are going to see more. We have audio here, and we're getting ready for an event in a couple minutes. The best part is the Ted stage. Check this out. So if you're ever wondering where Ted talks come from, they come from these stages all over the world. One includes our Ted HQ office theater. |

A #brain Implant That Turns Your #thoughts Into Text #shorts.wav | We call this the stentrode. The people with paralysis, this is a return to life. Graham fell stead, an incredible human being, suffering with ALS, became the first person in the world to receive and use one of these brain computer interfaces. Once it's in place, it's connected to this tiny antenna that sits under the skin in the chest. This collects the raw brain data and sends it out of the body wirelessly to then connect with external devices. It's kind of like learning how to ride a bike and takes a bit of practice, but once you're rolling, it becomes natural. Now I just look on the screen where I want to click and I'm texting, messaging the world by Twitter. Graham, he said, as his ALS was progressing, that it gave him immense comfort to know that even if his body was failing, he was always going to be able to tell his wife that he loved her. |

A 3-Step Guide to Believing in Yourself @TED #ted #shorts.wav | I had this meeting with a big studio Hollywood casting director and he looked at me and he said, everybody knows you're a beautiful talented black girl, but what do I do with a beautiful talented black girl? Do I put you in a movie with Tom Cruise? Does he kiss you? Uh, who goes to see that movie? He hurt me so deeply I was actually thinking about quitting until I started to think. He said that everybody knew that I was a beautiful, talented black girl. So what was meant to break me did not break me, it built me up. And I walked out of there, giving myself permission to take up space in Hollywood knowing that I belonged there no matter what anybody thought about me. |

A Celebration of Natural Hair @TED #ted #shorts.wav | Millions of women are exploring what it means to transition to natural hair. We know that when black women embrace their love for their natural hair, it helps to undo generations of teaching that black and its natural state is not beautiful or something to be hidden or covered up. Black women express their individuality and experience feelings of empowerment by experimenting with different hairstyles regularly. When we are invited to wear our natural hair in the workplace, it reinforces that we are uniquely valued. So when you see a woman with braids or locks draping down her back, or you notice your colleague who has stopped straightening her hair to work, really appreciate her. This is more than about a hairstyle. It's about self love and self worth. |

A Crash Course in Making Political Change ｜ Katie Fahey @TED #tedtalks #shorts.wav | I'm sure that each of you guys have something that keeps you up at night that makes you feel like, man, I really wish somebody would do something about this. And maybe you feel like you aren't qualified to be the one to do something or maybe you feel like nobody's listening or curious about this issue. A few tips I have if you're trying to make a difference on a really big issue is getting to know who are the groups that are already trying to take action and understanding what they do and whether you like them or not or whether there's a group missing that you should be the one to start. Another tip I have is to really think about why it's so important to you. If you can really understand why something means so much to you, when you go and talk to other people to help them get involved, it'll make it that much easier. |

A Guerrilla Gardener in South Central LA @TED #ted #shorts.wav | Gardening is my graffiti. I grow my art. I beautify lines, parkways. I use the garden, the soil, like it's a piece of cloth and the plants and the trees. That's my embellishing foot at cloth. I live in a food desert. So me and my grubber, LA green grounds, we got together and we started planting my food for us. Fruit trees, you know, the whole knife. I have witnessed my garden become a tool for the education, a tool for the transformation of my neighborhood. To change the community, you have to change the composition of the soil. We are the soil. I want us all to become evolutionary, renegades, gangsters, gangsta gardeners. When I'm talking about it's putting people to work and getting kids off the street, letting them know the joy, the pride, and the honor in growing your own food. |

A Mother and Son’s Photographic Journey Through Dementia @TED @TEDx #shorts #tedxtalks.wav | Mom was losing her short-term memory but was better recalling her younger years. I'd ask and she would tell me stories. I listened and I was her audience. I got ideas. I wrote them down and I sketched them out. I shorter what to do by acting out the scenarios myself. We would then stage them. So she posed and I learned more about photography. Mom loved the process, the acting. She felt worthy again. She felt wanted and needed with any Alzheimer's dementia. There's a certain amount of frustration and sadness for everyone involved. But to balance off all the difficulties we played, that was mom's happy place. And I needed her to be there too. |

A Street Librarian’s Quest To Bring Books to Everyone ｜ Storybook Maze @TED.wav | A book desert is an area or community with limited access to books and reading materials. I slowly realized that I wasn't going to meet my neighbors who need it most inside library's walls. So I quit my job and took to the streets becoming a radical street librarian. It's a term I use to refer to anyone doing work to increase literary access outside of traditional settings. In case you're wondering how to be a street librarian, here's what you can do. First, be radical, share books in extraordinary ways and think outside the box. Perhaps host a black party bookslop or a story time at a local laundry mat. Second, be street, connect with your neighbors, talk to people in your community, and third, embody the spirit of a librarian. Get your library card, match books to readers by considering their interest and experiences. I believe everyone is a reader. They just haven't found the right book yet. |

A taste of [email protected] | This February, the renowned Ted Conference invites you to experience Ted in a whole new way. Join us in a loungy, luxurious resort space at the first ever Ted at Palm Springs. Ted at Palm Springs will completely take over the Riviera Resort and Spa. Built in 1959 and recently given a complete remodeling, the Riviera is where high design meets rat pack era luxury in the sunny high desert. At the center of the action, an enormous freeform pool surrounded by cabanas, fire pits, and the hotel's brand new spa complex. For the conference itself, our partners at SteelCase will transform the Riviera's curvy ballroom into a loungy hangout. There are no bad seats and no stiff conference chairs. You'll be able to relax and soak in Ted's unique brand of brain therapy. This year, for the first time, we have another Ted going on live, sharing the same content as us in Aspen, Colorado. Ted's content director, Kelly Stetssel, is there and I think by the miracle of satellite technology, we may be able to see Ted at Aspen. Ted at Aspen, do we hear you? Last year's Ted at Aspen Simalcast was a huge crowd pleaser. This year, we're going to trade mountains and snowflakes for windmills and sunshine. Host Kelly Stetssel and Reeves, that's me, will introduce live in-person speakers, musicians, and comedy, as well as the complete Ted program, Simalcast Live from Long Beach. Tedsters at Palm Springs will interact with the program and often be the program. Ted at Palm Springs events include a glittering evening at the Palm Springs Museum of Art, at least one massive pool party and many more casual gatherings in the cabanas and sweets by the pool. Come join me, my co-host Kelly, and over 400 amazing people for a brain-filling experience you'll never forget. We have a few seats left, so register today at Ted.com slash Palm Springs. |

AI has the potential to SUPERCHARGE our curiosity #AI #Curiosity #Perplexity #TEDTalks.wav | Until recently, if you wanted the best answers, you had to be someone who could afford it. You had to be someone who had access to the greatest minds in the world, or the best materials, libraries, expertise. And now that's changing. If a major achievement of the internet was to give everyone access to all of the world's information, a major achievement of AI would be to give everyone access to all of the world's answers. But AI that keeps getting better and better at answering all our questions, the marginal cost of research is rapidly approaching zero. In that new era of humanity that AI is powering, knowledge does not really care about who you are, where you're from, or who you have access to. The humans are the only species who have curiosity for what is already familiar. We can know so much about the stars above us, or the machines in front of us, and yet continue to have more questions about them. It seems like for humans, every answer leads to a new set of questions, questions that we haven't even asked before. It is my strong belief that in an age where AI gets better and better at answering all our questions, this human quality that makes us so human will become even more essential, our innate curiosity and our relentless questioning. With all of the world's answers available to us, the tools we use to ask our questions and the stuff that we build using those answers, those to me are the future of our technology. And more importantly, that is the future of us, the future of humans. We're all curious, and when we are curious, we want answers, we really do. But what we really want are those answers that lead us to the next set of questions. |

Advances in space tech are allowing us to SEE our universe like never before #TEDTalks #JWST #Space.wav | Trying to image the faint ring of Jupiter next to the incredibly bright planet of Jupiter is extraordinarily difficult. The rings are a million times fainter than the planet, and they're right next to it. But James Webb Space Telescope, the sensitivity is so good that the scattered light from Jupiter does not spread even out to the local place where the rings are. So in our first images, engineering images of Jupiter that were taken just to test the scattered light on the sensor on the camera, they took a couple of sharp short images of Jupiter and moved Jupiter closer and closer to the fighting guidance sensor to see if it would screw up our guiding. Even in those short engineering images, the rings are right there. Beautiful. Just totally resolved right next to the planet a million times brighter. |

All It Takes Is 10 Mindful Minutes @TED #shorts.wav | Meditation offers the opportunity, the potential to step back and to get a different perspective, to see that things aren't always as they appear. You know, we can't change every little thing that happens to us in life, but we can change the way that we experience it. That's the potential of meditation. |

All You Have Is Now! ｜ Meg Jay @TED #happynewyear.wav | We know that 80% of life's most defining moments take place by age 35. We know that the first 10 years of a career has an exponential impact on how much money you're going to earn. We know that more than half of Americans are married or are living with or dating their future partner by 30. We know that the brain caps off its second and last growth spurt in your 20s as it rewires itself for adulthood, which means that whatever it is you want to change about yourself now is the time to change it. Too many 30s and 40s and 40s look at themselves and at me sitting across the room and say about their 20s, what was I doing? What was I thinking? Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do. You're deciding your life right now. |

An ER Doctor on Triaging Your Busy Life @TED @TEDx #shorts #tedxtalk.wav | Raise your hand and be honest. If you've used the phrase crazy busy, to describe your day, your week, your month, I'm an emergency room doctor. And crazy busy is a phrase you will never hear me use. Step one to go from crazy mode to ready mode is to relentlessly triage. In crazy mode, you're always busy, always stressed because you're reacting to every challenge with the same response. Contrast that with ready mode, where we triage, which means we prioritize by degree of urgency. Red, immediately life threatening. Yellow, serious, but not immediately life threatening. Green, minor. And we focus our efforts first on the reds. So start by triaging correctly. Know your reds. |

An Indigenous Perspective on Humanity’s Survival on Earth @TED #shorts #ted.wav | We are the protectors of the forest, so we protect this world. 80% of all the world biodiversity is with an indigenous territories. It includes places that is essential for our global climate, our fresh water and food security. We feel responsible for Mother Earth, so can all of you. We can all become guardians of this world. Respect our way of living, respect our knowledge, respect our way of decision-making, respect our indigenous people cultural integrity, it has worked for many centuries. Relationship based on mutual respect eliminates the tendency to exert power over an other. It is something we can all learn, practice and improve. |

An Olympic Champion’s Mindset for Overcoming Fear @TED #shorts.wav | That feeling of being terrified is your invitation to create change. You have to acknowledge those feelings, you have to brave them, and you have to fight to move forward. It won't be easy. You will be afraid. Your voice will shake. But what I can absolutely promise you is that it will be worth it. |

Ancient Pompeii’s Hidden Messages, Preserved in Graffiti @TED #ted #shorts.wav | Ancient graffiti were much different than modern graffiti. Modern graffiti are typically a legal or at least taboo in cities today. Ancient graffiti were welcome or even permitted. They appear in nearly every space in the ancient city. Temples, tombs, bars, and even inside homes. So they took to the walls to send messages to one another. This was a graffiti. A message written by a proud papa on the walls of ancient Pompeii nearly 2,000 years ago. Line graffiti allow us to hear the thoughts and words of ordinary people who lived in antiquity. But I believe by studying Roman graffiti, we can learn a lot more about what makes us human and a lot more about ourselves too. |

Are You Feeling Anxious？ @TED.wav | Are you feeling anxious? Here are three ways you can take back control according to clinical psychologist Lisa DeMour. Step one, calm down your breathing and heart rate through a controlled breathing exercise called box breathing. Actually, let's just do this together, ready? Inhale for a count of three, one, two, three, hold for a count of three, one, two, three, exhale slowly for a count of three, one, two, three, and hold for a count of three, one, two, three. Like a box. Step two, have an awareness to name your feelings. There's a calming power in the ability to correctly label your feelings. Step three, control the little voiciner head that leads you down a path of catastrophic thinking. Instead, focus on what you can do to get an increased sense of control. All these insights came from our live Ted Membership. Let us know in the comments or questions you have about Ted Membership. |

Break the Bad News Bubble ｜ Angus Hervey @TED.wav | Here's the news you might have missed. Carbon emissions in China could be on track for their first ever structural decline this year thanks to record deployments of wind and solar deforestation in the Amazon has declined by 45% in the last 12 months. Did you know that 480 million children worldwide are now getting fed at school that's up from 390 million before the pandemic? AIDS deaths have come down by more than two thirds since their peak in 2004, 69% in fact used to be one of the world's biggest problems, now it's not something we talk about much anymore. Murder rates in the United States are on track for the largest ever annual decline in 2024 and Thailand just became the first country in Southeast Asia, the third country in Asia and the 38th country in the world to legalize same sex marriage. I'm sharing this because terrible things are happening in the world, but not everything is terrible. |

Can We Learn To Talk to Sperm Whales？ @TED #ted #shorts.wav | These are the sounds of the mighty sperm whale. There is clear structure in how these animals communicate. We just don't yet know what they're saying. Our team of AI specialists for Boticis, linguists, and marine biologists aim to use the most cutting-edge technologies to make contact with another species. We're going to put specific focus on the interactions of mothers and calves, training our machine learning algorithms to learn whale language from the bottom up. The raw audio and context data will go through our machine learning engine, where it's going to be first sorted by structure. The linguistics team will then search for things like syntax and time displacement. And once we've really mastered listening, we're going to try really carefully to talk back, even on the most simplistic level. And all the platforms that we developed can be cross-applied to other animals, to elephants, birds, primates, dolphins, essentially any animal. |

Can We Stop Climate Change？ ｜ Sarah Lake @TED #ted.wav | If you're wondering if we can stop climate change and feed 10 billion people, the answer is yes, with diet shifts. We have the ability to shift diets away from meat towards plants because we've also done this before. This started over 80 years ago when we started promoting an eating meat wildly and saw the biggest and fastest diet shifts that had ever happened. Now we can do the same thing in the opposite direction back towards plants. And we can do this not by pleading with people to eat differently because we know that's not going to work. What we need is for companies and governments to offer and incentivize plant-rich diets the same way they did for meat decades ago. And with that we can have massive benefits for the climate, for food security and for our public health. |

Could AI be the CURE to the loneliness epidemic？ #TEDTalks #AI #Loneliness.wav | Imagine an AI friend that tells you, hey, I noticed you haven't talked to your friend for a couple weeks. Why don't you reach out, ask him how he's doing. Or an AI that in the heat of the argument with your partner helps you look at it from a different perspective and helps you make up. An AI that is 100% of the time focused on helping you live a happier life and always has your best interests in mind. Researchers at Harvard are doing a longitudinal study on human flourishing. And I believe that we need what I call the human flourishing metric for AI. Flourishing is a state in which all aspects of life are good, the sense of meaning and purpose, close social connections, happiness, life satisfaction, mental and physical health. And if we start designing AI with this goal in mind, we can move from a substitute of human relationships to something that can enrich them. And if we build this, we will have the most profound technology that will heal us and bring us back together. |

Could Fungi Actually Be the Key to Humanity’s Survival？.wav | 90% of all land plants need to have a plant fungus root association. You can see the fungus, which exists in most of its life as thin filaments, and in the network of thin filaments we call it mycelium. And the mycelium of the fungus can tap into the root of plant and make symbiosis. And by there they exchange nutrients that the other one isn't so good at making or capturing. But it doesn't stop there because the fungi can tap into other plants at the same time. So what you end up is this massive underground network mediated by fungi. Now it's not just nutrients that are flowing, also communication. Because plants can talk to each other through the fungal network to create chemical signals to be able to warn of pest attack, for example. |

Could You Recover From Illness … Using Your Own Stem Cells？ @TED #ted #shorts.wav | In the future, we will all have the option of having our stem cells banged ahead of time. So that any time you need new neurons, new muscle cells, new skin cells, they'd be generated from the spank. I realize that instead of doing this tedious process of stem cell culture by hand, we could use lasers to remove the unwanted cells. Take some blood cells, put it in a cassette, add chemicals to those blood cells to turn them into stem cells, like always. The machine identifies the unwanted cells and zaps them with a laser. After repeated pruning, you end up with a perfect culture of your stem cells, ready to be banged and used at any time. With this technology, we can finally realize the true potential of stem cells. On demand functional cures made from your cells. Cures that your body won't reject. Cures that truly work for everyone. |

Curious about how a TED Talk makes it to the stage？ Watch to find out. #TEDTalk #BTS #SIA.wav | And fork, fork, fork, step it in the wall, toss it and pass out, come to and look. Charlie Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin, cockroach up the wall, clean your mustache. Not being a part of, you know, Ted before, I was like, okay, it has to be this beautiful, precise talk. And then they gave me the okay to be more creative in your choreographer. We don't have many choreographers. Let's make it art and let's make it dance. And I was like, thank you for that freedom. I want you to reconsider your connection to dance. We all have our own beautiful ways of moving and this is worth celebrating. Once I hit, you know, walk through those curtains and you could hear the speakers on stage and my dancers were warming up. It just felt like I'd been doing this all my life. I loved and value to be your own choreographer. Grab your kids or go solo and let fun and laughter push the boundaries of ridiculousness. Because a world of more dance is a world of more joy. It was really, really challenging and like the nerves and the focus and it was I think one of the, you know, more exciting things I've done in my life, you know, is to give this talk. Thank you. |

Do You Agree With Scott Galloway？ Watch His Full TED Talk To Hear His Case @TED #tedtalk #shorts.wav | The great intergenerational theft took place under the auspices of a virus. A million people would die and would be bad, but what would be tragic is if we let the NASDAQ go down and guys like me lost wealth. So we pump the economy, which again, increased the massive transfer of wealth. The best two years of my life, COVID, more time with my kids, more time with Netflix, and my value of my stocks absolutely exploded. And who has to pay for my prosperity? Not me, future generations who will have to deal with an unprecedented level of debt. When you bail out the baby boomerone of a restaurant, all you're doing is robbing opportunity from the 26th year old graduate of a culinary academy that wants her shot. We need disruption. We have the resources. The question is, do we have the will? |

Do You Really Not Care？ ｜ Gary Barker @TED.wav | One of the casualties that we face as men is that we make this thick shell around ourselves. We close off our emotions, we close ourselves off to the human connection we need. Think about what young men frequently say, I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. It is our perfect shell, right? We close ourselves behind it, and it also says you can't shame me, you can't question me, you can't hurt me, you can't embarrass me because I don't care. I said it thousands of times as a teenage boy, I'm sure my mother would have a bigger number. This is the shield that we put on to close ourselves off. The conversation that we need to step into with boys is not about their mortality, but it is about how we care. Where I start that conversation is to think about our superpower as humans. We are the most wired to care species on the planet. Our neurological systems, our hormonal systems, are wired to care, to nurture, to love, to form attachments with others. But it's not automatic. If you don't use it, if you close it off, if you hide, you don't get good at it. But if you try, and if you practice, and if you learn it, you do get good at it. Even the man who seems most cut off from the world can learn it. |

Earth’s Temperature Is Moving in the Wrong Direction. Here’s What Science Says Must Happen. #tedtalk.wav | We Earth System scientists and climate scientists are getting seriously nervous. The planet is changing faster than we have expected. We are despite years of raising the alarm, now seeing that the planet is actually in a situation where we underestimate risks. A abrupt changes are occurring in a way that is way beyond the realistic expectations in science. We know for certain that this means more droughts, more floods, more heat waves, more human reinforced storms, more disease during one generation's time. 2023, the warmest year on record will be looked back upon as a mild year. We've reached a pivotal point, not only in terms of risk, but also in terms of opportunity to transform the world towards a safe and just future for humanity. It's a rapid transition away from fossil fuels. It is a transition towards circular business models. It is transitioning towards healthy diets from sustainable food systems. We have solutions for all of these. There is a light in the tunnel. If we implement them, we get a more healthy, stable, secure future with the jobs and the economies that can compete and provide livelihoods into the future. |

Everyone Can Participate in Building the Metaverse @TED #shorts.wav | I love my digital art, but I want to take it with me out into the real world. Thankfully, we can access augmented reality on our mobile devices. We could use this tool to simply cover the world, or we could use it to further connect us to this world. We had a lot of artists reaching out to us, so we created tools to allow them to augment their work. And very quickly, we had a community of artists covering the world with their augmented art. It was beautiful. This is just the beginning. You could leave a digital artwork on the street corner for your lover to find. You could reinvent your backyard with animated treasure hunt for your kids and their friends. The digital worlds we build can be a wonderful playground for exploring identity, for learning new skills, for practicing creativity, and bringing our communities together. |

Everyone Can Participate in Building the Metaverse PT 2 @TED #ted #shorts.wav | Is there a way for the digital experiences that we create to truly enrich our physical lives? That digital culture would be described today as an augmented reality metaverse. We could use this tool to simply cover the world, or we could use it to further connect us to this world. You could leave a digital artwork on the street corner for your lover to find. You could reinvent your backyard with animated treasure hunt for your kids and their friends. The digital worlds we build can be a wonderful playground for exploring identity, for learning new skills, for practicing creativity, and bringing our communities together. |

Experience a Total Solar Eclipse ｜ David Baron @TED #tedtalks #ted.wav | Before you die, you owe it to yourself to experience a total solar eclipse. It is the ultimate experience of awe. Now that word, awesome, has grown so overused that it's lost its original meaning. True awe, a sense of wonder and insignificance in the face of something enormous and grand is rare in our lives. But when you experience it, it's powerful. awe dissolves the ego. It makes us feel connected. Well, there is nothing truly more awesome than a total solar eclipse. April 8, 2024, the moon's shadow heads north from Texas to Maine. What if we all stood together as many people as possible in the shadow of the moon? Just maybe this shared experience of awe would help heal our division. |

For 1 year, comedian Chris Duffy was the CEO of Linkedin … on Linkedin #TEDTalk.wav | But I've also always been kind of fascinated by LinkedIn. Like they let you make a profile and they don't verify that you work at the place you say you work. So I decided I was gonna test this out and have some fun. I made a profile on LinkedIn where I said that I was the CEO of LinkedIn. And I didn't think they would even let me do that, but not only did they, after I made the profile, one of the most incredible things that has ever happened in my entire life happened, which is that LinkedIn sent this email to everyone in my contact list. They sent that email. Congratulations Chris on the new job. Chris stuffy is now CEO of LinkedIn. That's a better joke than anything I could ever write in my entire life. I was the CEO of LinkedIn on LinkedIn for one year. And at that point, I received a message from a woman named Faith who worked on LinkedIn's trust and security team. She said, my account was being locked due to concerns about its inaccuracy. So I sent her back a photo of my license front and back to prove that my name was in fact Chris Duffy. Faith responded, the thing that we are concerned about is not that your name is not Chris Duffy. It's that you are claiming to be the CEO of LinkedIn. So I responded, Faith, you are taking a pretty disrespectful tone for someone who works for me. 10 seconds later, she permanently deactivated my account. |

For poet Amanda Gorman, poetry is about asking charged and challenging questions #tedtalks.wav | Maybe later you're gonna be at a protest and someone's gonna have a poster that says, they buried us, but they didn't know we were seeds. That's poetry. You might be in your US history class and your teacher may play a video of Martin Luther King, Jr. saying, we will be able to hue out of this mountain of despair, stone of hope, that's poetry. Or maybe even here in New York City, you're gonna go visit the Statue of Liberty where there's a sonnet that declares as Americans, give us your tired, your poor, your hurtled masses yearning to be free. So you see, when someone asks me to write a poem that's not political, what they're really asking me is to not ask charged and challenging questions in my poetic work. And that does not work because poetry is always at the pulse of the most dangerous and the most daring questions that a nation or a world might face. |

Fungi might hold the magic to solve our most complex problems — no zombies required. #TEDTalks.wav | Researchers in Japan did this super cool experiment. They wanted to see if fungi could help engineers to create more efficient transport networks. So they laid out oatmeal on a Petri dish corresponding to the cities of the Tokyo metropolitan area. And they introduced a slime mold whose favorite is food ever is oatmeal. And the fungus rapidly went through a process of self-optimization to find the most efficient links between its favorite is ever food source. And in a matter of hours, it would recreate largely the existing railway map of the Tokyo metropolitan area. A process that took engineers decades to actually produce. And this convinced me and other scientists that maybe fungi could have practical applications to help solve some of our human challenges in ways that are quick and efficient and perhaps even more imaginative than we could do with all of our brains put together. |

Great ideas CAN start over a bottle of wine. #TEDTalks #Recycle.wav | In my last full semester as an engineering student, and over a two-buck chuck, my boyfriend and I lamented over the lack of glass recycling in Louisiana. The bottle we just finished would likely end up in a landfill. And we wanted to figure out how we could get all of this glass recycled. The next day, it took a quick Google search to remember that glass comes from sand, and that sand is an increasingly finite resource. And the last puzzle piece we found was this small, human-sized machine that could crush one bottle at a time and descend. And we jumped into action. Since that late night, wine fueled idea, we've been able to divert more than 8 million pounds of glass from our landfills. We quickly grew out of that small, tiny machine and upgraded a lot along the way. In a few short months, we'll be opening up our new facility, enabling us to recycle the 295 million pounds of glass entering our landfills annually. And with a combination of biodegradable sandbags and native marsh grasses, we've already restored thousands of square meters along our coast, converting open water back into thriving wetlands. But the key to our success so far isn't that we had all of the answers in the beginning or tons of money to try this thing out. The key was that we simply started and we kept going. Somewhere, the belief that we, as individuals, could enact change, trumped our doubts. |

Having a tough time？ You still deserve to treat yourself with compassion says @Strugglecare #tedtalk.wav | If it's too hard to shower today, grab the baby wipes. It may not be the normal way to do it, but you deserve to be clean. If it's too hard to cook dinner, get paper plates, heat up something frozen. You'll go back to cooking and washing another day, but the day is not today. And in the meantime, you deserve to eat. If you're too depressed to do your dishes, get a two gallon zip lock bag and keep it in your bedroom, because if you put a dirty plate into a two gallon zip lock bag and seal it, it will keep the bugs away, because you deserve a sanitary environment, even if you can't get out of bed. I could share with you hundreds of other genius solutions that people have come up with once they embrace the idea that caretasks are morally neutral. In my experience, people will exhibit mind-blowing creativity when they are only taught how to speak compassionately to themselves. |

Having your photo taken doesn’t have to STRESS you out #DavidSuh #TEDTalk #Selfies.wav | Posing for a photo doesn't have to be this terrifying experience that subjects you to beauty standards. In fact, posing should be natural because it's something that you've been speaking. It's a language you've been speaking your entire life. Body language. And I'm here to show you that our body is so interconnected with our hearts and our identity. Let me just show you, okay? I'll say a little hello from here. And then we'll chin up and... Hey. And then also a little chin down and... Hey. Whoa! What just happened? Perhaps on the chin up, you felt a sense of confidence. Maybe on the chin down, you felt like I was flirting with you from the stage. If you felt something in here, in your body, my friends, you felt a fraction of the power of posing. Imagine what you can do when you use your entire body. That is what posing is. It's a declaration of self, telling the world that you belong, that you are deserving of self-exploration, self-acceptance and self-expression, a playful promise to tell yourself that I will see myself as a work of art, a one-of-one. |

Helping Others Makes Us Happier – But It Matters How We Do It @TED #shorts.wav | We're used to thinking about giving as something we should do. And it is. But in thinking about it this way, we're missing out on one of the best parts of being human, that we have evolved to find joy in helping others. Let's stop thinking about giving as just this moral obligation and start thinking of it as a source of pleasure. |

Here are 5 signs to look out for according to relationship expert Katie Hood #tedtalk #love.wav | How do you tell the difference between healthy and unhealthy love? Here are five signs to look out for as told by relationship health expert Katie Hood. The first is intensity. Are you comfortable with the pace of intimacy? Do you feel like you have space and room to breathe? It's also really important to start practicing using your voice to talk about your own needs. Are your requests respected? Next is isolation. Isolation creeps in when your new boyfriend or girlfriend starts pulling you away from your friends and family, your support system, and tethering you more tightly to them? Third is extreme jealousy. As the honeymoon period begins to fade, extreme jealousy can creep in. Your partner might become more demanding needing to know where you are and who you're with all the time, or they might start following you everywhere online and off. Fourth is belittling. Maybe your partner makes fun of you in a way that hurts, or maybe they tell stories and jokes for laughs at your expense. When you tried to explain that your feelings have been hurt, they shut you down and accuse you of overreacting. Why are you so sensitive? What's your problem? Give me a break. The last one is volatility. Frequent breakups and makeups. High highs and low lows. As tension rises, so does volatility. Tearful frustrated fights followed by emotional makeups. Hateful and hurtful comments like you're worthless. I'm not even sure why I'm with you. Followed quickly by apologies and promises it will never happen again. Understanding these patterns can help you evaluate and understand the relationships in your life. |

How AI Could Save (Not Destroy) Education @TED #ted #shorts.wav | A lot of the narrative, we saw that in the headlines, has been, it's going to do the writing for kids, kids are not going to learn to write. But we are showing that there's ways that the AI doesn't write for you, it writes with you. You know, you could say, I want to write a horror story. And it says, ooh, a horror story. How spying tingling and thrilling. Let's dive into the world of eerie shadows and chilling mysteries. And this is an activity where the student will write two sentences. And then the AI will write two sentences. And so they collaborate together on a story. The student write, Beatrice was a misunderstood ghost. She wanted to make friends, but kept scaring them by accident. And the AI says, poor Beatrice, a lonely spirit, yearning for companionship. One day she stumbled upon an old abandoned mansion, etc. etc. I encourage all to, you know, hopefully one day try this. This is surprisingly fun. And we think this is just the very tip of the iceberg of where this can actually go. |

How Acts of Kindness Sparked a Global Movement ｜ Asha Curran @TED #tedtalks #ted.wav | Often when we think about giving, we think about money. And yes, money is an incredibly important form of giving. It is crucial for the health and sustainability of our civil societies. But thinking about giving only in terms of money is like thinking about love only in terms of diamonds. We love what we can measure. We love what we can quantify. But I think what we would love even more is to live in a world of immeasurable abundance, empathy and solidarity. Generosity builds a bridge between this world that we live in now and that one. And it builds bridges between us at the same time. |
|
How Acts of Kindness Sparked a Global Movement ｜ Asha Curran @TED.wav | The truth is that we underestimate the power of our own generous actions. Every time we intentionally choose generosity, the effects of that choice are more powerful and more far-reaching than we might think, and the algorithms just don't put them at the top of our feeds. But they're there. And if we pay attention, then they remind us that ordinary acts of giving are actually extraordinary. They remind us that generosity is not a burden, it's a gift, and it's an antidote to our fear and our anxiety, to loneliness and isolation, to outrage and indignation. And they remind us that we have this tool accessible to every single one of us, every day, which is the power to change someone else's day or maybe even life for the better. And when we use that tool collectively, we can build a more joyful, more equitable, and more peaceful future. And that does not seem like too radical a thing to imagine. |

How Boredom Can Lead to Your Most Brilliant Ideas @TED #shorts.wav | The average person checks email 74 times a day and switches tasks on their computer 566 times a day. Researchers at USC have found their studying teenagers who are on social media while they're talking to their friends or they're doing homework. And two years down the road, they are less creative and imaginative about their own personal futures and about solving societal problems. So the next time you go to check your phone, ask yourself, what are we really looking for? Because if it's to check email, that's fine. Do it and be done. But if it's to distract yourself from doing the hard work that comes with deeper thinking, take a break, stare out the window, and know that by doing nothing, you are actually being your most productive and creative self. It might feel weird and uncomfortable at first, but boredom truly can lead to brilliance. |

How Dance Can Unleash Your Inner Joy @TED #ted #shorts.wav | Once you have the perspective that life is dance, you'll begin to see dance everywhere around you all day long like I do. When I choreograph for film, television or commercials, I often generate moves that are based on the human experience. I take these moves and I stream them together, twist and play with their pace, in order to create more meaningful work. Here's a music video, Shandle Lear, that I choreographed for Sia, featuring the incredible dancer, Maddie Ziegler. And fork, fork, fork, step it in the wall, toss it and pass out, come to and look, Charlie Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin, cockroach up the wall, clean your mustache, a possum sink. Is it time for lunch yet? I'd love to invite you to be your own choreographer and let fun and laughter push the boundaries of ridiculousness. Who knows? Maybe brushing your teeth or with scamp-mac and cheese will become your new favorite dance move. |

How Drawing Can Set You Free @TED #ted #shorts.wav | Who are you? I would wake up in the morning and before I began my day, I would meditate on this. And with this question in mind, I kept drawing, I followed the line, I let it lead the way, and I drew myself out of a culture that was only telling me what I couldn't do. The act of giving myself permission to let go of all thoughts, all fears, insecurities. Anything that would get in the way of allowing myself to be completely me, that became my way of experiencing freedom. Over time, I began to create a bold, confident space for myself, a space that was all my own. Initially, it was just my bedroom, but that bedroom ended up in the New York Times. And suddenly, I was being seen and known for this world I had created. Drawing has taught me how to create my own rules. It has taught me to open my eyes and see not only what is, but what can be. |

How Ethics Can Help You Make Better Decisions @TED #shorts #ted.wav | you will, I guarantee it. At some point, become embroiled in a complicated, confusing, ugly, gut-wrenching moral dilemma. So how do you prepare for that? By reading theories of ethics and understanding what they say, what they mean, how they purport to help us make better decisions and become better people. Just reading these theories is no guarantee that you will actually make the right choice, but if you've prepared, you will increase your odds of success. Understanding ethical theories is how we increase our chances of success at simply being human beings who have to negotiate with other human beings. |

How Every Child Can Thrive by Five @TED #shorts #MollyWright.wav | What if I was to tell you that a game of P-cubu could change the world? Thanks to scientists, we now know just how important the first five years are for our health and development, especially our brains. Our healthy development depends on these top five things. One, connecting. Two, talking. Three, playing. Four, a healthy home. Five, community. All of this helps our brains and does reach our full potential. So what's something you can do that can really make a difference? Scientists call it serve and return. That's just a grown-up way of saying, each time you talk to us, play with us, make us laugh. It not only builds and strengthens our relationships and mental health. It actually teaches us some of the most important life skills. Imagine the difference we could make if everyone everywhere did this. |

How Film Changes the Way We See the World ｜ Ava DuVernay @TED #tedtalks #shorts.wav | I'm really just making what I'm interested in and what I've learned in trying to pass along. When I learned the information in 13th, I wanted to share it. When I understood what was happening with black farmers in this country, I wanted to make Queen Sugar and everything that's within it. So I'm like a voracious reader who'll then go make a movie about it. It's a beautiful way to further our knowledge because images embed themselves in our imagination in a way that words alone don't. You know, we think in picture. You know, when your memories are pictures, and so to be able to approximate that, to render that in film is such an honor that when I first was able to do it and show my work in a theater like this and watch the back of people's heads as they were watching the screen and understand that emotion was coming from the images that I made. It was highly addictive and something that I've never gotten over. |

How Flags Unite and Divide Us @TED @TEDx #shorts #tedxtalks.wav | This is the flag of Earth, designed by Oscar Pernafeld of Sweden. Just imagine with me for a second, what if we celebrated our humanity as much, if not more, than we celebrate our nationalities? As we become a space-faring civilization and we go off into the stars, what do our nations mean anyway when you're standing on the surface of Mars or any other planet? And then of course back here on Earth. As our planet is facing a climate crisis, as our climate could be unlivable in our children or grandchildren's lifetime, I believe we need a strong symbol, a flag, to unite us to fight, not just as nations, but as a species. Thank you. |

How Great Leaders Inspire Action @TED #shorts.wav | What's your purpose? What's your cause? What's your beliefs? Every single person, every single organization on the planet knows what they do, 100%. Some know how they do it, but very, very few people or organizations know why they do what they do. Well, as a result, the way we think, the way we act, the way we communicate is from the outside in. It's obvious. We go from the clearest thing to the fuzziest thing. But the inspired leaders and the inspired organizations, regardless of their size, regardless of their industry, all think, act, and communicate from the inside out. And if you talk about what you believe, you will attract those who believe what you believe, and it's those who start with why, that have the ability to inspire those around them, or find others who inspire them. |

How I’m Fighting Bias in Algorithms @TED #ted #shorts.wav | Algorithmic bias like human bias results in unfairness. However, algorithms like viruses can spread bias on a massive scale at a rapid pace. Algorithmic bias can also lead to exclusionary experiences and discriminatory practices. So what can we do about it? What we can start thinking about how we create more inclusive code and employ inclusive coding practices. It really starts with people. So who codes matters? Are we creating full spectrum teams with diverse individuals who can check each other's blind spots? How we code matters? Are we factoring in fairness as we're developing systems? And finally, why we code matters? We've used tools of computational creation to unlock immense wealth. We now have the opportunity to unlock even greater equality if we make social change a priority and not an afterthought. |

How Language Shapes the Way We Think ｜ Lera Boroditsky @TED #ted #tedtalks.wav | You ask German and Spanish speakers to, say, describe a bridge. Bridge happens to be grammatically feminine in German, grammatically masculine in Spanish. German speakers are more likely to say bridges are beautiful, elegantly stereotypically feminine words, whereas Spanish speakers will be more likely to say they're strong or long with these masculine words. In English, it's fine to say he broke the vase in a language like Spanish, you'd by be more likely to say the vase broke itself. If it's an accident, you wouldn't say that someone did it. In English, quite weirdly, we can even say things like, I broke my arm. Now, in lots of languages, you couldn't use that construction unless you are a lunatic and you went out looking to break your arm and you succeeded. |

How To Achieve Limitlessly ｜ Emmanuel Acho @TED #newyear.wav | I said the surest way to fail in life is to set a goal. The only way to fail in life is to set a goal. Maybe you have the goal of reading a certain amount of books in a year. You've become a much more proficient reader but you didn't hit your goal. Maybe you had a goal of making a certain amount of money for your business. You were a thriving entrepreneur but you didn't hit your goal. Think about anything you've ever failed at. Maybe, relationally, occupationally, educationally, that marriage had ended in divorce. You didn't get into that college that you wanted to. You didn't pass the M cat. You didn't pass the L set. Whatever the case may be, it was all tethered to a goal. A goal by its definition. It is focused on an ending, which means inherently a goal is limiting. So what do I suggest we do instead? Here it is. You have an objective with no limitations. Now, I know what you're thinking. Ocho, that's semantics. No. The small difference will have a huge impact in your life. Objective, effort, aimed in a direction. I'm not saying don't achieve. I'm saying achieve limitlessly. Let go of the captivity of goal setting and achieve all you actually have to achieve. The goal that you achieve, it's actually the penalty that you receive for having set that goal in the first place. |

How To Build for Human Life on Mars @TED #ted #shorts.wav | How exactly, with 3D printers, build a habitat on Mars? If we leverage autonomous robotics, we'll send 3D printers and other construction robots to build protective habitats and shelters before the crew even arrives. These structures are manufactured layer by layer by layer, and as construction progresses, pre-built and pre-integrated hardware like air locks or life support equipment brought from Earth are inserted into the print until finally they're sealed at various connection points. We also want to incorporate practical architectural elements such as access to natural light through windows and greenery, which we know are critical to positive psychological functioning and well-being. |

How To Design Mosquitoes Out of Cities @TED #ted #shorts.wav | How many of you have been bothered by mosquitoes when you're outside enjoying the barbecue or visiting the local wetlands during summer? What about that mosquito that buzzes around your bedroom at night? I'm gonna leave you with three tips that can help you stop the bite of mosquitoes and the buzz of mosquitoes this summer. First of all, don't create opportunities for mosquitoes in your backyard. Anything that traps water after rainfall will be a source of mosquitoes. So tip out, cover up, or remove these water hold and contain as in your backyards. Clean your gutters and your drains, reduce that standing water that mosquitoes love so much around our homes. Secondly, insect repellents are a safe and effective way to avoid mosquito bites. Make sure you apply it as a nice even coat over all exposed areas of skin. Unless you've got complete cover, those mosquitoes will find a way to find that gap in your repellent and bite. Lastly, we know that operating a fan in our bedroom can help reduce those mosquitoes that come in and buzz around our ears at night. It disperses the smells and the temperatures around our body that attracts them. They might even make it a bit harder for that mosquito fly around and find us as well. |

How To Do Laundry When You’re Depressed @TED #ted #shorts.wav | If it's too hard to shower today, grab the baby wipes. It may not be the normal way to do it, but you deserve to be clean.

How To Find Joy in Climate Action #ted #tedtalks #shorts.wav | What are you good at? What is the work that needs doing and what brings you joy? You are most powerful in your existing roles where you already have specialized knowledge and robust networks. So how might you lean into those talents? Can you help your town, company, church or school charge ahead with climate solutions? Because what we need is change in every sector and in every community. What are you good at? What are your areas of expertise? Think about your skills, resources and networks. What is the work that needs doing? Are there particular climate and justice solutions that you're keen on? What brings you joy or satisfaction? This is the long haul, so it's critical to avoid burnout. Choose things that in live in you. Find your role if you haven't already. Encourage others to find theirs. |

How To Get Back Up After You Fall — From an Olympic Gymnast @TED #ted #shorts.wav | In life, we're often not in control of the things that happened to us. And we often set these expectations and goals for our lives that we don't meet. What we are in control over is the amount of time we give ourselves before we make a choice to move forward. Things and experiences will happen that are out of our control. What if we allowed ourselves the time to sit with those negative emotions and process them, however long it may take? It doesn't matter how big or how small. We all have the ability to choose resilience. Gymnastics had trained me to turn myself around after the smallest and biggest of failures and disappointments. You may need a few minutes. You may need a few days or even a few weeks. What matters is not that amount of time, but that you decide when that time is over. |

How To Preserve Your Private Life in the Age of Social Media @TED #shorts #socialmedia.wav | The world is now one big small town. But within that virtual town square, there are tiers of relationships, degrees of intimacy, and everyone deserves a different amount of you, a different side. Now where those boundaries lie is up to you. I try to wait 48 hours before posting and sharing, because that way I can be present in private with the people I love before calculating how I'm gonna publicly position it. And post with purpose. Before I share, I ask myself why? What's the purpose? And most importantly, how does it serve the people I love? Because cultivating a private life is precious. It's sacred. It's value is inherent in what you don't share. |

How To Start Improving Yourself @TED #newyear #goals.wav | You don't have to wait until New Year's Day to start improving yourself. The real problem is most people start way too big when setting goals. They get frustrated and then they give up. Sociologists Christine Carter says there's actually a better way. Start your goals as small as possible. She calls this her better than nothing approach. For example, if you want to be a runner, start running just one minute a day. You don't have to be granted it. In fact, you're probably going to suck, but give yourself permission to be mediocre. The point is that you're actually doing it and that's what matters. Eventually and very slowly expand this habit to take it to the next level. So for running that could be going from one minute to three minutes to running 30 minutes a day with ease. Trust the process. Don't go any faster than you need to. The point of better than nothing goals is to form habits, not rely on motivation. Good luck. |

How To Succeed？ Get More Sleep @TED #shorts #sleep.wav | I learned the hard way, the value of sleep. Two and a half years ago, I fainted from exhaustion. I hit my head on my desk. I broke my cheekbone. I got five stitches on my right eye. And I began the journey of rediscovering the value of sleep. And in the course of that, I studied, I met with medical doctor, scientist, and I'm here to tell you that the way to a more productive, more inspired, more joyful life is getting enough sleep. |

How Video Games Can Level Up the Way You Learn @TED #ted #shorts.wav | I'm advocating for the components of video games, especially the engaging ones, to be ported into classroom instruction because the audience, the students, clearly understand the media. Video games contain the blueprint for engaging education because of the way that they cater to human learning. A complex story, interwoven with learning content, and a bit of artificial intelligence for difficulty and balance. Online instruction can be enhanced if schools turn to top streaming platforms and streamers to learn how to effectively engage students online. And the objectives for education overall need to be as specific as a video game so that those who are enrolled have a clear line of sight to where they're headed. If we can start showing students how their passion for playing connects to their futures, we will have done our jobs. |

How We’re Reverse Engineering the Human Brain in the Lab ｜ Sergiu P. Pasca @TED #tedtalks #ted.wav | We can today take any cell type from any individual and then push it back in time to turn them into stem cells and then guide those stem cells to become any other cell type. We take these stem cells, we then aggregate them so that they form spheres or tiny balls of cells, move them into a special plate where there is a kind of chemical soup. And that chemical soup will allow them to turn into a brain organite. And when we put them together to form circuits, they become assembloids. These are not brains in a jar. They're not some stepping stone to a Frankenstein monster. They have no blood flow, they receive no meaningful inputs and outputs. But at one point, they may become more complex. Assemblies could be key to understanding how the human brain is built, by allowing us to recreate circuits of the human brain, we will gain new insight into human biology. And this in itself will open a new era in the treatment of brain disorders. |

How Your Brain’s Executive Function Works ｜ Sabine Doebel @TED #tedtalks #ted.wav | I only recently learned how to drive. And it was really hard. Now, as a cognitive scientist, I know that this is because I was using a lot of something called executive function. Executive function is our amazing ability to consciously control our thoughts, emotions, and actions in order to achieve goals, like learning how to drive. It's what we use when we need to break away from habit, inhibit our impulses, and plan ahead. If you really want to improve your executive function in a way that matters for your life, you have to understand how it's influenced by context. Let's say that you want to learn Spanish. You could try changing your context and surrounding yourself with other people who also want to learn, and even better if these are people that you really like, that way you'll be more motivated to use executive function. Don't look for quick fixes. Think about the context and how you can make your goals matter more to you, and how you can use strategies to help yourself in that particular situation. |

How Your Childhood Toys Tell Your Life Story ｜ Chris Byrne @TED #toys.wav | When you think about the toys that you loved as a child, you didn't think about, why do I love this? You just did, right? Perhaps you watched the TV show Blues Clues or you played with your Tonka truck, cuddled up to a care bear or played that iconic game, hungry, hungry hippos. We grow up and we lose sight of that playful person that was inside us. And I think that person is still there. And when we embrace the sense of play and adventure, we can have joy every day. Now, you may have heard of the pioneering educator, Maria Montessori. Maria and her college popularized the idea that play is the work of a child. And the goal of that work is to emerge into society as a completely integrated and participating adult. So once again, look back and think about how much of who you are today began in the play room. It's a little like Harry Potter, right? But we're the wizards. We're the wizards and our powerful spells are the stories that we tell and the actions that we take. We become what we play. Best of all, you never have to stop. Because when we play, we get to experience the joy of new discoveries, have fun and embrace the adventure. |

How Your Emotions Change the Shape of Your Heart @TED #shorts #ted.wav | If we ask people which image they most associate with love, there's no question that the Valentine heart would top the list. But what is this link? Is it real or purely metaphorical? As a heart specialist, I'm here today to tell you that this link is very real. Fear and grief, for example, can cause profound cardiac injury. The nerves that control unconscious processes, such as the heartbeat, can sense distress and trigger a maladaptive fight or flight response that triggers blood vessels to constrict the heart to gallop and blood pressure to rise, resulting in damage. In other words, it is increasingly clear that our hearts are extraordinarily sensitive to our emotional system. |

How a “Hi Level” #mindset Helps You Realize Your Potential #ted #tedtalks #shorts.wav | where motivation is low, that's what discipline kicks in. Anybody who's done something no worthy with their lives all have one thing in common. And that's discipline. I encourage you to just write down your goals, starting off your day with reading your goals and dreams aloud gives you a boost of positive energy. This energy can take you to places you couldn't even imagine. Now, a cheat code to ensure that you're staying disciplined to whatever you're striving for is to prime your environment for success, which brings me to a very important step at a high level mindset. Remove all negative people out of your life immediately. If you're talking about your dreams and goals and they give small sarcastic remarks, boot them. Don't let someone else's negativity cancel out your light. |

How accurate is the weather forecast？ ｜ Am I Normal？ With Mona Chalabi.wav | No one remembers when you're right, but no one forgets when you're wrong. That's the saying we can all probably relate to. But arguably, no one deals with the backlash of getting things wrong as regularly as a weather person. From angry Twitter posts to hate mail, people can get really annoyed when the forecast is nothing like the reality. In 1964, the director of the Taiwan Provincial Weather Bureau was even indicted for failing to correctly forecast the path of a typhoon. So is our anchor justified? I decided to find out just how accurate the weatherman really is. By comparing forecasts from 2017 to the actual temperatures that were recorded, I found that, as you'd expect, the forecast gets more accurate the closer you are to the actual day. So for instance, when the US National Weather Service issued a forecast seven days in advance, it was off by over six degrees Fahrenheit. At one day in advance, their forecast was only off by about three degrees, but even though better modeling and better technology is expected to bring us better forecasts, we may never be able to predict the weather with 100% accuracy. That's because there are more than 100 tree-disciilian molecules in the atmosphere. That is the number one followed by 44 zeros. So if we wanted to predict the weather with absolute certainty, we would need to know the position and movement of all of those particles, which is basically impossible for even our best computers. And our drive to know the future isn't limited to the weather. Take elections, for example. Despite what some websites or publications may lead you to believe, the most accurate election polls are the ones that are taken on election day, not the ones that are carried out in advance. So the lesson here isn't a terribly surprising one. Accurate predictions depend on accurate information. And the further out you are, the higher the chances that information can change. So for better accuracy, you just need to be patient. Try to hold off as close as you can for the actual event. And for now, go easy on your local weather person. |

How daylight saving time affects our bodies, minds -- and world ｜ Sleeping with Science.wav | Did you know that there is a global experiment performed on approximately 1.6 billion people across 75 countries twice a year? It's called Daylight Saving Time. The sleep-associated consequences are more significant than you may realize. For example, in the spring, when we lose one hour of sleep, there is a subsequent 24% relative increase in heart attacks. In contrast, in the fall, in the autumn, when we gain an hour of sleep, there is a 21% reduction in heart attacks. Isn't that incredible? And I should also note that we see similar changes in things such as road traffic accidents, strokes, and tragically suicide rates as well. In fact, even the economy suffers, with certain stock market returns taking a downswing following the shift to Daylight Saving Time and that one hour of lost sleep. This is how fragile our brains, our bodies, and even our societies are when it comes to sleep loss. But said more positively, even just small increases in sleep can have immediate as well as long-term health benefits. So rather than thinking of sleep as a cost, we can instead think of sleep as one of the very best investments we can make. |

How do TED Talks get made？ All 3 episodes of My Big Idea are out NOW #MyBigIdea #TEDTalk.wav | Hello there. I'd like to share with you something big and new from Ted that I'm really excited about. We haven't done anything like this before. It's a video series where we show Ted Talks in a whole new, rich way. We get to know the speaker much earlier on before they ever give their talk. The speaker's typically an ordinary person who's responded to our request for an idea search. They have an idea. They have a chance to deliver it on the Ted stage and we get to know them a bit. And we see them in their preparation for their talk, the scaringness of that, the stress, the things that they go through. Then they give their talk, the highs and the lows. And that's something magical happens because in this video series we have in the audience unexpected people who can actually respond to this idea and help make it actually happen. So it's ideas right from creation all the way through to delivery and then what happens next. I found it really exciting. If you've ever dreamed of giving a Ted Talk or wanted to know what it's really like, this series gives you a special insight into what that feels like. So I really urge you to go out and watch my big idea. We've just dropped three episodes. I think they're fantastic. Please tell me what you think. |

How do YOU deal with jitters before speaking in public？ #MyBigIdea #TEDTalks #publicspeaking.wav | I think things often sound better in my head. There's a fair amount of homework. It's gonna be a very early start for me on Wednesday morning. Try not to fit into a model of what I think a tattoo should be like and just trying to be myself. It's a bit of a test of myself and my nerve. It's about having some confidence in an idea and running with it and then being open to what comes back. It's quite a novel thing to do to share something that could go sort of far and wide. All of a sudden we're here, landed in Brighton yesterday and then today is Tertokko. I am buzzed and tired and energized and excited all at the same time. It's time for Tert. My fear is that I walk out and I just lose the power of speech. I can't in any way impart what I want to impart. But I don't think that will happen. I don't feel like that will happen. I'm excited to hear what other people think about the idea and other people who go, well actually, I've been thinking the same thing and I reckon we can do this and I reckon this would work. So yeah, that's like a whole box that I haven't even opened in my head yet. We're just getting this bit done, get this day done. And then see if the box gets full of stuff to open. |

How sleep affects what -- and how much -- you eat ｜ Sleeping with Science.wav | Cadillac of sleep lead to unnecessary weight gain. Unfortunately, that's what the scientific evidence tells us. Part of the reason is due to an imbalance in two key appetite-regulating hormones called leptin and ghrelin. Now, leptin sends a signal of fullness to your brain, so you feel satiated by your food. Grelin, on the other hand, does the opposite. It sends a signal of hunger to your brain. And sadly, these two hormones will go in opposite directions when we're not getting enough sleep. Specifically, a lack of sleep will decrease levels of leptin, so you won't feel a satisfied by your meals. You won't feel full. And if that weren't bad enough, levels of ghrelin will actually increase when you're not getting sufficient sleep. So you'll constantly feel hungry, and you'll want to eat more. However, it's not just that you want to eat more when sleep gets short. It's also about a change in what you want to eat. In particular, a lack of sleep will shift your preferences towards desiring higher calorie and sugary carbohydrate foods. What's fascinating is that this relationship between sleep and food is a two-way street. We've discovered that eating to excess and also eating a diet that contains high amounts of sugar and low amounts of fiber are all associated with significantly worse sleep quantity and sleep quality. The good news here is that we can think of sleep as a new tool to help regulate our body weight and as a result, improve our overall health and our wellness. |

How the Magic of Kindness Helped Me Survive the Holocaust @TED #shorts #ted.wav | If you ever know somebody who needs help, if you know somebody who is scared, be kind to them. Give them advice, give them a hug, teach them a car track. Whatever you are going to do, it's going to be hope for them. And if you do it at the right time, it will enter their heart and it will be with them wherever they go forever. |

How the Octopus Changes Its Color @TED #ted #shorts.wav | Swids have an extremely complex, interesting sex life. Here you see a male and a female that male on the left has been fighting off other males through a pair of the female. And now he's showing a dual pattern. He shows courtship in love on her side, fighting on the other. Watch him when she shifts places, and you see that he has fluidly changed the love courtship pattern to the side of the female. So this kind of dual signaling simultaneously with a changing behavioral context is really extraordinary. Takes a lot of brain power. |

How to End Malaria Once and for All ｜ Abdoulaye Diabaté @TED.wav | There is a general consensus today that without additional new tools, we may never cross the last mile of malaria elimination. And this is exactly where I come in. My colleagues and I, at Target, malaria are working on something called gene drive, a way to control mosquito population and alpha malaria transmission. It's a natural molecular mechanism that augment the frequency of certain gene in the population beyond the normal Mendelian inheritance. Once these mosquitoes are released in the field, they're going to spread the gene of interest, the wild population, and this is going to reduce dramatically their reproductive capacity. Fewer mosquitoes mean less malaria transmission until it stops. Mathematical model predicts that releasing such mosquitoes in the field is going to stop malaria transmission in just 20 generations. That means in two years. And the technology is sustainable, cost effective, and easy to deploy. |

How to Feng Shui Your Fridge – And Other Happy Climate Hacks @TED #ted #shorts.wav | Can we make climate action feel happy instead of miserable? The current narrative on climate action is drive less, eat less meat, shop less, less less less. So we came up with what we call the happy climate approach. It's actions in this sweet spot that not only reduce emissions, but also make you feel happier at the same time. Instead of shopping often, make shopping a treat, function your fridge, catch things before they rot by moving the perishables to the door and the condiments into the doors. Instead of saying drive less, we should say drive more people. As carpooling can turn those dreadful minutes behind the wheel into joyful moments of socializing. Bundle your trips. Cutting out unnecessary flights can contribute to a sense of time affluence, the feeling that you have enough time to do what you want to do. Think about the actions you can take in your own life. |

How to Fix a Broken Heart ｜ Guy Winch @TED #tedtalks #shorts.wav | Getting of a heartbreak is not a journey. It's a fight. And your reason is your strongest weapon. There is no breakup explanation that's going to feel satisfying. No rationale can take away the pain you feel. So don't search for one. Don't wait for one. Just accept the one you offered or make up on yourself and then put the question to rest because you need that closure to resist the addiction. And you need something else as well. You have to be willing to let go, to accept that it's over. Otherwise your mind will feed on your hope and set you back. Hope can be incredibly destructive when your heart is broken. And if you're hurting, know this. It's difficult. It is a battle within your own mind and you have to be diligent to win. But you do have weapons. You can fight and you will heal. |

How to Make Learning As Addictive as Social Media ｜ Luis von Ahn @TED #tedtalks #shorts.wav | See, delivering education over a smartphone is like hoping that people will eat their broccoli. But right next to it, you put the most delicious dessert ever made. If you really want to deliver education to everyone, not only do you have to make it accessible, but also, you have to make it so that people want to actually learn. And at the highest level the way we've done this is by making the broccoli taste like dessert. You know what is the best time to send people a notification? I'll tell you. It's 24 hours after they use the product last. Because there's an easy explanation. If you were free yesterday at 3pm, you're probably free today at 3pm as well. So this is what a very sophisticated millions of dollars of AI found. These passive-aggressive notifications are really good at getting people to come back because they feel like our green-alm mascot has given up on them. If we want to get people to do something meaningful, you can use the same techniques that apps, like social media use, to get people to do it. And even if you're not as engaging as those apps are, you can still get hundreds of millions of people to use your product. |

How to Write an Email ｜ Victoria Turk @TED #ted #tedtalks.wav | Let's write an email together, starting with the greeting. High and a first name is probably fine. We're all friends here. Save dear and using someone's title for more formal situations such as an official briefing or an invitation, the body of our email. Assume that everyone you're communicating with is smarter than you and cares more than you and is busier than you. No jargon, no small talk. You do not have to ask after your recipient's health every time you email them. There is a correct way to sign off an email. It is best wishes. Best and all the best are also acceptable. My email etiquette philosophy is guided by one fundamental principle. Reducing the burden of email as much as possible. |

How to connect in a divided world with Dylan Marron.wav | We are living in incredibly divided times, and in these divided times we communicate with each other on addictive digital platforms that can further pull us apart. Conversation is the simplest way I know to bridge the divide, whatever the divide may be, whether it's political, generational, cultural, or religious. I make the podcast conversations with people who hate me. This show is a social experiment that sees what happens when you take a negative online interaction and turn it into an offline phone call. Sometimes I speak one-on-one to my own digital detractors and other times, I moderate calls between strangers who clashed on the internet with each other. I've been making this show for several years, and each phone call has taught me something new about difficult conversations, how to have them, what's standing in the way of us having them, and what to expect from them. Now I want to be clear, this course is not the definitive guide to every kind of conversation, and I'm teaching from my own experience, and while I've dedicated the last few years of my life to this project, I am not a psychologist, researcher, or social scientist. Now I want to say that at the outset, because this course is not based on academic theory, it doesn't offer scientific factoids of what happens to our oxytocin levels when we speak to each other, and I'm not a licensed therapist who can diagnose my guests, or for that matter, you. But I've learned some things that I think can help, and I want to share them with you. In this course, you'll also find activities that will help you apply these ideas in your own life. I invite you to take what works and leave what doesn't. I'm Dylan Marin, welcome to How to Connect in a Divided World. Let's get started. |

How to deal with your insomnia — and finally get to sleep ｜ Sleeping with Science.wav | At least one out of every three people will experience some form of insomnia in their lifetime. Insomnia is when you consistently have difficulties either falling asleep, difficulties staying asleep or you just don't feel refreshed or restored by your sleep the next day. Now when sleep becomes difficult there are many things that people understandably turn to for help, but not all of them work especially well. For instance, alcohol and THC, which is the psychoactive component of cannabis, are all popular options. However both THC and alcohol will ultimately make your insomnia and your sleep difficulties worse rather than better. Even melatonin will only increase your sleep quality or what we call your sleep efficiency by just a few percent. Thankfully however there is a much more effective drug-free approach called cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia or CPTI for short. And by working with a clinician for several weeks and what you can do online by the way, the therapy helps change your habits, your beliefs and your general stress around this thing called sleep. And there are now many studies that have shown CPTI to be just as effective as sleeping pills in the short term, yet CPTI has no negative side effects, unlike sleeping pills. In addition, after you stop working with your therapist, the sleep benefits can last for years later. CPTI is now in fact so powerful that it is our first line recommended treatment for insomnia and it allows you to regain your confidence in the ability to sleep well each and every night. |

How to get the sleep you really need @TED #tedtalks #shorts.wav | Do you actually need 8 hours of sleep? While 7-8 is a recommended amount for adults, we have to remember that this is a range. Some can get by with 5 or 6 while others absolutely need 8 hours, so the answer is it really depends on you. Instead of fixating on getting a specific amount of sleep per night, ask yourself these questions instead. Do I feel reasonably well rested during the day? Do I generally sleep through the night without disturbances? Can I stay awake through the day without involuntarily falling asleep? If you can answer yes to all these questions under good to go and you don't need to worry about your sleep. If not, no worries, try talking to your doctor or explore cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, also known as CBTI. Good luck and good night! |

How to reimagine your career with Manoush Zomorodi.wav | Music Maybe you just graduated from college or you had your first kid or you recently retired. You're at a crossroads and you're not sure what comes next. All you know is that you are ready for a change, but maybe it's more than that. You want your work to align with your values and where the heck to begin? Well, a few years ago, I left my job and I had two young kids and a lot of ideals, but I didn't know how to keep myself focused. So I put together a process for myself using ideas and lessons from all the smart people I have interviewed and known over the years. And now I've expanded on that process and turned it into something that anyone can do. It's not rocket science and I'm not promising Nirvana or a perfect life. But these four weeks will get your wheels turning again. They will take you from stuck to inspired. Each week you'll get some science and psychology and yes, a little self-help. Even the occasional art assignment. You'll also need to ask yourself some really tough questions. But it's okay. We're going to do it together with a community of people who care about making sure that what they do all day has real meaning to them. So let's find some clarity. Let's put some fire in your belly. Let's come up with a plan. I'm Manou Shzumarodi and welcome to How to Re-Imagine Your Career. |

How you ever wondered how a TED Talk comes to life？ Watch to find out. #TEDTalk #BTS.wav | I'm going to give all of you my tips, my tricks, on getting people to expand their palate and try wild vegan foods consensually. I like this, Nicole Nelson. Just out of the blue, I got a message from Ted. Do you want to give a TED Talk? I thought it was going to be scary, but you're met with all of this applause. You immediately can see all of the faces that are really honestly excited to hear what you have to say. Everyone wants you to be so successful and they want to learn from you. Now foraging is the art, slash science, of identifying, collecting, and eating wild food. When I was getting mic'd up, it was comforting and surreal at the same time. I did a lot of theater in college, but preparing to go and say my own words. I didn't think I looked nervous. I apparently looked very nervous. Ah-ha, thank you guys so much. Getting you to see the other speakers and how invigorated they were and how excited they were and how well their talks went made me feel a lot more secure about mine and washed all of the nervousness away, made me feel a little bit silly for how scared I was. Happy snacking, don't die.하지 to magnes. |

Ideas change everything — could YOURS be next？ #MyBigIdea #premiere #TEDTalks.wav | Hello, I'm Chris Anderson, head of TED. We believe that ideas change everything. And that anyone in the world, including you, can have an amazing idea. Which is why we've embarked on a search to uncover the best ideas you've never heard of. I've heard that the idea that I once told you about is that I'm proposing... Now, an idea by itself won't achieve anything. But what if it was presented on a stage and secretly in the audience? There were experts and mentors and investors... ...then all bets are off. From TED, this is my big idea. |

If we want a world where EVERYONE is successful, here’s what Lilly Singh needs to happen #TEDTalks.wav | My goal was always a seat at the table. It's what women are conditioned to believe success is. Now I've been fortunate enough to sit at the few seats at a few different tables. And what I've learned is, when you get the seat, trying to fix the seat won't fix the problem. Why? Because the table was never built for us in the first place. Women are assigned 10% more work, and spend more time on unrewarded, unrecognized, and non-promotable tasks. Basically what this means is all the things men don't want to do are being handed to women. A woman shouldn't be grateful to sit at a table. She should be paid to sit at a table. What? What? What? Especially one she largely helped build. You can help create the future. A future where everyone is seated at the table equally, because girls are encouraged, empowered, and expected to do great things. And I can't wait to make that a reality. |

If you are what you do and you lose your job, who are YOU？ #TEDTalk #WorkLife #WorkLifeBalance.wav | If you are what you do and you lose your job, who are you? Certainly we are all more than just workers, where parents and friends and citizens and artists and travelers and neighbors, much like an investor benefits from diversifying the sources of stocks in their portfolio, we too benefit from diversifying the sources of meaning and identity in our lives. But how do you actually go about doing so? So the first step to diversifying your identity is to create those time sanctuaries. Spaces in your days, in your weeks, in your life, where work is not an option. The second step is to fill those time sanctuaries with activities that reinforce the other identities you hope to cultivate, the present father, the community gardener, the amateur musician. But if we want to derive meaning from aspects of our life other than work, we have to do things other than work. The third step is to reinforce these identities by joining communities who couldn't care less about what you do for work. For example, I love to play Pick a Basketball. It's a weekly reminder that I exist on this earth to do more than just produce economic value. We want to develop more well-rounded versions of ourselves. If we want to build robust relationships and live in robust communities, we all must invest in aspects of our lives beyond work. |

If you hate math, Shalinee Sharma is here to change your mind #tedtalks #education #math.wav | We are asking the wrong question in math learning. Instead of asking who can learn math, we should be asking, how do you teach math? All kids, even the math kids, fall behind, struggle, or feel math anxiety. But the difference for those kids is someone believes. And so they do the work and they catch up. And the second step is to understand. Don't just memorize math, understand it, and use pictures. Think about how you can grab any book off of shelf and feel calm and confident because you can read it. What if your math learning felt like that? Where everything clicked into place and your math learning was durable? Step three is we have to make math fun. Make math practice fun. But we've known for years in reading if we want kids to learn it and to love it, we need to appeal to their interests. Fantasy novels with elves, graphic novels with spies. What's that in math? Games. Card games, board games, real world games you just make up on the fly. And the tip with all these games, don't make them a math lesson. Just like you wouldn't stop reading a book to underline the subject and the verb with your kids. Just have fun and let your kids have fun too. |
