Wednesday Wellness Tool: Make Friends With TED

4/17/2013

So I've been telling anyone who will listen about Brené Brown's Ted Talks on vulnerability and shame. And every person who watches them comes back with a profound sense of something. Movement, perspective, inspiration, you name it. For me, the material just. makes. sense. and we can all relate. 

But these are only two talks within the vast world of TED (which, by the way, is an acronym for Technology, Education, Design - the three domains that were integrated in the original annual conference). TED talks feature people from numerous fields - from writers to teachers  to scientists to doctors - discussing recent work, ideas and innovations. The talks are meant to "stir your curiosity" and they do a good job.

As a Wellness Tool, I recommend tapping into the free and accessible TED archives, where there is something interesting and inspiring for everyone. 

And because sometimes having too many options makes us choose none, here are several categories of (potential) interest:

 "happiness," "self," "inspiring," "productivity"

Why not listen while you do chores are take a walk? I can personally attest to the fact that I no longer dread folding laundry ever since TED came into my life...

Thank you for this! I fell in love with Brene Brown's TED talks and have been wanting to listen to more by diffferent folks. However, I got more than a little overwhelmed with ALL the choices and listened to none.
I am now inspired to listen to more talks, using your very helpful search terms. I will keep you posted on gems! :)

    I wanted to provide a forum for combining therapeutic work with our every day lives, whether through easy to apply tips, de-jargonized information, or my reflections - or at times confessions - as a human being who just so happens to be a therapist.
