About TED:
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader. The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes). The TED site makes the best talks and performances from TED available to the public, for free. More than 200 talks from our archive are now available, with more added each week. These videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so they can be freely shared and reposted. ***
I found this site about a year ago, and its TED talks have been become a huge inspiration for me. I will be posting my favorites for you, in no specific order. I guarantee you will find something of interest to you here, so please pass the word on to others that have yet to find this site.
My first choice goes to Barry Schwartz: The real crisis? We stopped being wise. He talks about what it takes to be a wise person, and how our current society does not necessarily recognize the importance of true wisdom, or the path to becoming wise.
