TED Talks

I am placing this in Chattery Teeth in hopes more of you will see it and you guys will share your favorite TED Talks. I recently ran into this one, and it spoke to me. I have always wanted to play an instrument, and this seemed doable.

The First 20 Hours -- How to Learn Anything by Josh Kaufman


I was inspired by a documentary I saw on Netflix about this guy:

Jake Shimabukuro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I love the TED Talks series! I especially love the 'Chew This' series on Netflix (about food, of course), and Amanda Palmer's TED Talk about asking for help was pretty darn wonderful.

 

[SusanNorton]

Wow. Thanks, skimom2 - I just watched Amanda Palmer's TED talk. Amazing.

I watched Elizabeth Gilbert's first TED talk last year, and really loved it, much more than her second one.

Love TED Talks, brain food.

Man, I saw one of a kid, Sam Berns, with progeria, and it was both inspiring and heartbreaking. It was titled "My Philosophy for a Happy Life." He passed away earlier this year.

That was very good. What a charming sense of humor. I personally have a lame genius in my walls.

I'm going to watch the E.G. talk you like tomorrow. Not a huge fan of hers, but I've heard that she can be well spoken

 

[stevegane]

Thanks for that, it is so interesting.

I loved Brene Brown's talk on vulnerability. It was an eye opening.

That was really good. Vulnerability applied to the political and religious arenas was definitely spot on. Thanks for sharing that.
