TED talks

Ted talks is note just one guy, but randomly brilliant people from all over the world who hold speeches for 3-20 minutes about... anything. The slogan is "Ideas worth spreading" which results in a lot of science, but also generally cool projects, some economics, just good stuff.

So I found this smashing guy today talking about The happy secret to better work - his name is Shawn Achor, watch it HERE. Its really funny and his sister Amy is a unicorn.

Another super-inspiring woman is Karen Tse who holds an amazing speech about how to stop torture. Watch that HERE.

And last but not least, Sarah Kay is a spoken word poet who reads a jaws-dropping poem called "If I should have a daughter". Please watch it HERE.

Enjoy my dear ones, and please give me your favourites too.
