I've been working at a small neighborhood cafe for the last year and one of the perks is being able to listen to whatever I want to on the radio when I'm cleaning alone after hours. Of course that sometimes translates to loud music, but one long Sunday night I was flipping through the stations and and started listening to an amazing talk on overcoming abuse and abusive relationships, followed by a yet another amazing talk on how the brain functions under stress.
That night I discovered TED Radio Hour on MPR, hosted by Guy Raz. I now look forward to listening every Sunday night. Being that I sincerely believe that people have the power to inspire and inform others to direct the change we wish to see in the world, I also believe that we need to maintain this inspiration our selves in order to pass it on to others.
Introducing: The Weekly TED Post, to do just that: share the TED talks that inspire me. Each post will be titled "TED weekly:..." and have the title and author so you can either follow the link or use it as a quick reference. Stay tuned, and stay engaged!
TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Visit TED.com to learn more and see all of their talks available to watch free online
