Especially Good TED Talks

The History of TED Talks

Of the following TED Talks, the first "ten" are among my personal favorites.

Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight | Video on TED.com http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html 





Doris Kearns Goodwin on learning from past presidents | Video on TED.com

Kevin Slavin: "How Algorithms Shape Our World." http://www.ted.com/talks/kevin_slavin_how_algorithms_shape_our_world.html

Slavin's talk is a great - though oddly angled - companion piece to 2010 Oscar winning Best Documentary, "Inside Job," which is freely available at https://vimeo.com/27292661





Mark Bittman on what's wrong with what we eat | Video on TED.com







Dan Gilbert asks, Why are we happy? | Video on TED.com


Robert Wright on optimism | Video on TED.com
