Anybody else watch TED talks?
Browse Talks | TED.com
I found them on Netflix too. I'm hooked.
With topics that cover everything from technology to health, I've found so many that I am interested in. They average between 10-20 mins so it's easy to squeeze them in during lunch breaks, before bed, etc. I've even gotten DD interested in some of them. ("Brain Magic" was excellent!)
Online you can filter them by categories & I find that many of those under the "Inspiring" heading fit in nicely with my Recovery. Just thought I'd share!

Here's a good one that I just watched the other day, and I was actually was thinking at the time what great messages she had for codependents and any others trapped in being afraid to live their own lives. So thanks for the opportunity to post it now.
Has anyone read Anita Moorjani's book, Dying to be Me? It's so good, and so inspirational.

FS-Love TED talks 
Watched several on my Delta plane ride to California the other say, for a work trip I am on. They were free as part of the seat back entertainment. I have incorporated several into classes I teach.
I fantasize about writing my own TED talk-when I have free time I think about what my topic would be on and what key points I would want to cover. I seriously would like to "write" my TED talk, even though I am not important enough to get an audience for it (yet?), ha, ha. Maybe that would be a fun thread to start, just for kicks...What would YOUR TED talk be about?
If your daughter likes brain magic, do you ever watch the TV show Brain Games? My kids LOVE that show! We used to DVR it-I hope new episodes will be forthcoming. I think it is on the NatGeo or Discovery channel?

Brene is one of my favorites too. We have her WholeHearted Parenting Manifesto on our kitchen cabinet. She has the best explanation of empathy that I've ever heard.

These are ALL great! I liked this one a lot too:

These are ALL really great, I finally caught up & watched every one that has been linked here. Every time I think "this one's my favorite!" the next one is just as good.
Thank you all for sharing!

IDK Hopeful, I've never listened to them there, but it wouldn't surprise me if they are the same.
My boss actually introduced me to them, but they watch more of the tech/science-related stuff while I prefer the inspirational.
