Getting addicted to TED: Ideas worth spreading

I have been visiting this website for 2 weeks now, each day finding some beautiful, amazing ideas being given lecture style to inspire people, educate people and empower people. 

This site invites fascinating people from all around the world to give their most compelling talk in 18 minutes. Every one of them is so fantastic. Today I stumble upon one given by Jill Bolte Taylor, and am truly moved by how she communicated her stroke experience, experiencing something so powerful in the most life threatening situation. 

There are many other great speakers from TED such as Barry Schwartz and Dan Gilbert. But this talk by Jill is a standout so far. Do try watching some videos from TED, there are quite a few genres of videos there. Some may just change your life. 

Found the youtube for this video here.
