Feb 2008 | Jill Bolte Taylor
Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish
for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened --
as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding
-- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our
brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another. More TEDTalks at

6 January 2007 | Sir Ken Robinson
An interesting and fun video showing how the current education system is a creativity
killer :
“A must-see for every parent and teacher. Education guru Sir Ken Robinson makes an
entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures
creativity, rather than undermining it. Sir Ken Robinson is author of "Out of Our
Minds: Learning to be Creative," and a leading expert on innovation in education
and business. (Recorded February, 2006 in Monterey, CA.) More TEDTalks at TED.com”
Jan 2008 | Daniel Goleman
Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence, asks why we aren't more compassionate
more of the time. Sharing the results of psychological experiments (and the story
of the Santa Cruz Strangler), he explains how we are all born with the capacity for
empathy -- but we sometimes choose to ignore it. More TEDTalks at TED.com
27 June 2008 | Benjamin Zander
Benjamin Zander has two infectious passions: classical music, and helping us all
realize our untapped love for it -- and by extension, our untapped love for all new
possibilities, new experiences, new connections. A leading interpreter of Mahler
and Beethoven, Benjamin Zander is known for his charisma and unyielding energy --
and for his brilliant pre-concert talks. More TEDTalks at TED.com
