FILL THE VOID WITH
TED TALKS
As previously posted, it has been very important for me to
fill the silence in my life – especially in those first few months following my
divorce and separation.
Recommended to me by a friend as something to fill the void,
I quickly have become obsessed with TED talks.
TED – TECHNOLOGY, ENTERTAINMENT AND DESIGN (note - learned that from Mr.
Intellect) offer short talks on topics of all sorts.
I like TED talks for a few reasons. First, they are very informative and appeal
to my craving for knowledge. Second,
they are generally pretty short – less than twenties minutes and are perfect
for when I am showering, cleaning, or playing with my puppy. Third, I am wildly impressed by the public
speaking ability of these individuals.
At a minimum, it sets a standard for communicating an idea to a large
audience and it is amazing the passion these people bring to the table.
Below is my list of my top ted talks to combat unhappiness
and to offer inspiration. I am
constantly listening to TED talks and updating my new favorites. I’ve listened to each talk more than once and
even went through a phase where I listened to (1), (2), and (3) every day for a
few weeks. The words not only offered
comfort but they also offered solutions and inspiration.
