TED talks are the next step in our education. This is the kind of learning that is interesting, useful and practical. You can learn a lot from a 15-minute video useful information. And, of course, there will be no great sense from the fact that you just listen to this video and do nothing. It is necessary to apply the knowledge gained in life. I've watched dozens of TED videos and decided to make a list of the ones I remember the most.
Sir Ken Robinson on why schools are killing creativity
I think this was the first video I saw at TED. Ken Robinson is a born speaker. He did a wonderful job of covering his topic, proving that schools in their current sense are killing creativity in children. I think that . By the way, this is the most popular and viewed video in the history of TED.
Susan Cain on the power of introverts
Find out if you are an introvert or not. It is more important to understand that being an introvert is not bad at all. We tend to think that extroverts are the ones who rule the world. People who know how to negotiate with other people communicate a lot and know how to make connections. But introverts also have their advantages, which Susan Cain will talk about in this video.
Michael Stevens on why we ask questions
Michael Stevens - YouTube channel creator Vsauce. On his channel, he answers unusual and interesting questions, the answers to which we would hardly be able to find on our own. For example, what would happen if everyone on Earth jumped at the same time? Or what it's like to travel to black hole? I highly recommend subscribing to his channel. In his presentation, Stephen talked about the importance of being curious and why we should never stop asking questions.
Tony Robbins on why we do what we do
The incredibly charismatic Tony Robbins talks about why it's so important to do what we love and how to build our lives on it.
Amy Cuddy on the power of body language
Amy Cuddy - social psychologist. In the presentation, she brought a lot of interesting and useful facts about body language. For example, a confident posture increases the release of testosterone and cortisol and makes us more confident, even if you were embarrassed before. According to Cuddy, body language is what we first of all pay attention to when communicating with a person, without even noticing it.
Steve Jobs on how to live your life so as not to regret in old age
Steve Jobs' speech to Stanford graduates was disassembled into dozens of quotes. Jobs talked about the importance of living, not just existing. He backed this up with three stories from his life that prove that you need to follow your dreams and seize opportunities.
Elon Musk on how Tesla, Space X and SolarCity were created
Elon Musk can be considered one of the greatest innovators of our time. He popularized electric cars, created a power plant that runs on solar energy, and the company SpaceX, which produces shuttles that conquer the expanses of space. We have material about, but I advise you to watch his presentation, where he himself talks about his achievements.
Dan Gilbert on Happiness Through Science
We tend to think that happiness is something that cannot be felt or explained. But we are wrong. Happiness can be explained in terms of science, and Gilbert will do so in his talk. It's an exciting journey through the causes of what actually makes us happy.
Bran Brown on the power of vulnerability
Bran Brown studied human relations. Our ability to empathize, to love and the need of every person to be loved. In her short and funny presentation, she will talk about why we are afraid to appear vulnerable and what to do about it.
Chris Lonsdale on how to learn any language in six months
Teach new language from scratch is a very long and difficult task. Or not? Chris Lonsdale has developed a method by which anyone can learn any language in just six months. In his presentation, he talks in detail about what will be required of you in the process.
TED is watched by millions of people around the world, and the 10 presentations above are just part of a larger whole. Tell us about your favorite presentations and why you remember them!
is an annual event hosted by the private non-profit foundation Technology Entertainment Design (hence the acronym TED). The goal is to spread unique ideas("ideas worth spreading") through speeches by prominent people. So, during the existence of the conference, among the speakers were well-known businessmen, writers and scientists, including Nobel laureates. Today, TED conferences are known all over the world, as well as the TEDx subsidiary project, a licensed format for other countries. But not popularity, but the benefits that can be derived from the reports, became the motive for writing this material. Best talks TED- our list of lectures for those interested in self-development and self-education.
Joshua Fore. Memory Tricks Everyone Can Do
Joshua Fore (often spelled Foer) is a writer and science journalist, author of . In the center of his interests - high-speed memorization.

Original performance + subtitles
Rita Pearson. Every child needs a mentor
Rita Pearson was born into a family of teachers and also chose this profession for herself, devoting more than 40 years to it. As an educator, she follows education reforms and innovations in this area. But at the same time, she remains convinced that the teacher plays a traditionally important role in teaching children. In her opinion, the teacher should be able to find mutual language with each child, building close, human relationships with him. And the conviction of children that they all deserve the best becomes a motivation for learning even for the weakest students.
Elizabeth Gilbert. Your elusive genius
Elizabeth is a writer. She is best known for her book Eat, Pray, Love. In this speech, she reflects on the creative process and defends the idea that genius is not a special gift, because each of us can be considered a genius.
Pamela Meyer. How to recognize a liar
Finally - a little material for fans of the series "Theory of Lies", "Sherlock", "The Mentalist" and other similar ones. Pamela Meyer is the author of Lie Detection. In her lecture, she talks about some of the behavioral patterns that may indicate that you are being lied to.
I remember everything so clearly, like it happened yesterday. Adrenaline euphoria, and then immediately unspeakable shame. Two years ago I was asked to speak at TED conferences. And then… the invitation was cancelled. Now I will tell you everything in order, it will be like the confession of a rejected lover who still reads the posts of his ex on Facebook.
First there was a letter: a student from Oxford wrote to me, the son of a friend of a friend whom I had not seen since my university years. This intricate chain alone was enough to immediately play in my head the music from Brideshead Revisited - there was such a series in the eighties. This student asked me if I would be willing to speak at TEDx Talks at the Sheldon Theatre, on any topic of my choice. However, I later found out that TED with an additional "x" is not exactly the same as just TED. TEDx is like a franchise. But these speeches are still posted on Youtube under the TED logo.
After reading the letter, I jumped up from my desk. I radiated the purest passionate self-adoration. Speaking at TED is like receiving an order of honor, only better. This conference is a rock and roll gallery of fame for nerds. In an instant, a picture appeared before my eyes: I would be standing on stage, like most TED speakers, in a strict dark suit and a light-colored shirt without a tie. They will put a tiny microphone on my head on a thin plastic shackle, stretching along my cheek right to my mouth. Even if the microphone is not needed, I will put on an unconnected one.
I'll be pacing the stage, juggling statistics and cool facts about film, culture and the internet like journalist Malcolm Gladwell or sociologist and forecasting genius Nate Silver. On the count of times, I'll make the audience shake with laughter. On the count of two, they will go silent, their eyes bulging, because I will completely blow their brains out with the casually mentioned piece of my secret knowledge. I even prepared a couple of jokes "for my own". I came up with the name of the lecture: "The Selfish Meme" - hello to Richard Dawkins with his "Selfish Gene". Isn't it brilliant?
And then something terrible happened. About a month later - I still hadn't written my speech, but had already sketched out some ideas - I answered the organizers. I wrote that I was ready and asked what dates my performance was scheduled for. The answer was immediate: since I had not responded earlier, they decided that I was not interested in their offer, and invited someone else. At least that's how I understood them. Maybe there really is a brilliant, award-winning statistician somewhere at MIT, an emotional intelligence expert named Peter Bradshaw, and they've only just realized that I'm not him. I deflated like a punctured balloon.
The reason to remember this embarrassment now, in 2017, is the 60th anniversary of the writer and entrepreneur Chris Anderson, who invented the TED conference as we know and love it. Now his brainchild has grown to enormous proportions: more than two and a half thousand speeches have been posted online with a total number of views of about four billion, and TEDx has hosted 15 thousand speeches.
Initially, the TED conference, whose abbreviation stands for "Technology, Entertainment, Design", was conceived as a one-time event - in 1984 it was moderated by the architect and designer Richard Saul Wurman in Monterey, California. In 1990, the conference was decided to be held on a regular basis, and soon it became incredibly popular. In 2001, the non-profit Chris Anderson Sapling Foundation began to manage the project. In 2005, with the advent of YouTube, the history of TED had a real breakthrough. A year later, Anderson made the decision to release the TED Talks to Free access. Speeches by Bill Clinton, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and other famous TED speakers immediately became Internet hits.
Why has the TED format become so popular? It should be understood that the manner of presentation adopted at TED is largely inherited from specific speeches, the so-called afternoon speeches. In the days when I was still a boy, the ability to push such speeches beautifully - to bring up a rather serious topic and dissect it with unobtrusive humor - helped some smart people jump over a couple of steps. career ladder. In addition, the books of so-called motivational writers like Dale Carnegie became the foundation for TED. But the TED project borrowed most of all from the BBC Christmas Science Lectures for Schoolchildren, which have been published since 1963 - the lecturers tried to speak loftily, but in a popular and emphasized informal way, like today's conference speakers. Another important part of the TED secret is apoliticality. "Technology, entertainment, design" - there is nothing to quarrel about here. The themes strive for an all-encompassing globality in the spirit of “we are the world” or, on the contrary, for the extremely mundane details of our life, in which great wisdom sometimes looms.
The TED Talks project is designed to be a kind of chest of ideas, an inexhaustible source of motivation. But some of his releases on YouTube can bring the viewer to the handle. Before writing this article, I watched a lot of different speeches, one after another. After that, I was like delirious. I overdosed on TED and started to see a sign or a puzzle in every piece of nonsense. For example, sitting in a half-empty subway car, I looked around and thought: “Wow! People are seated so as to be away from each other. The first - to one end of the car, the second - to the opposite, the third - to the middle and so on. Just like the lineup in the Wimbledon tournament bracket!”
But the worst thing about TED Talks is the eruptions of platitudes from conceited, narcissistic celebrities. Perhaps the worst speaker was Bono. In 2013, he delivered the Good News About Poverty speech. It was unbearable to watch. Like many super-rich people, he is terribly concerned about the poverty of people in developing countries and in the states of Africa: firstly, it is always relevant, and secondly, it is completely safe, since discussing poverty in your home country can make the public take an interest in the tax return of a fighter for prosperity.
Bono said that the availability of antiretroviral drugs in third world countries is very important for the fight against HIV and AIDS. Okay, that's a healthy idea. But at the same time, it did not occur to him to refer to the words of at least one inhabitant of those countries about whose well-being he was so worried. In addition, Bono selected facts and pictures for his speech with the same pretentiousness with which Madonna selected orphans for her orphanage in Malawi. At some point, he began to convince the audience that he was here not at all as Bono - a rock star, but as a transmitter of knowledge. As proof of this, he took off his famous glasses and put them upside down for a couple of seconds, portraying, as it seems to him, a beautiful botanist in his absent-mindedness. He cracked a joke: "Let's look at the Brazilian development model... Who doesn't love Brazilian models?" — and paused. But no one laughed. Then, with unbearably ostentatious self-deprecation, he said that if all the problems he named were solved, no one else would have to "listen to a little, boring self-proclaimed Christ" like him. He spread his arms, miming the crucifixion, and at the same time made a movement with his fingers, as if begging, “come on, applaud!” Few applauded.
The silver medal in the Most Disgusting TED Talk Competition is given to Elizabeth Gilbert, the writer who gave the 2009 "Your Elusive Creative Genius" talk. She, as they say in Scotland, takes on too much. For example, Gilbert said that her super hit "Eat, Pray, Love" unexpectedly became an international bestseller. That writers should perceive inspiration as something given from above, and not as an everyday routine. What is terribly nervous, preparing to embark on "a frighteningly anticipated sequel to his own hit." In a word, the writer has achieved outstanding success in the ability to show off modestly.
Bronze will go, in my opinion, to David Cameron. Before squandering Britain's EU membership and then moving from politics to entrepreneurship, Cameron gave a smugly oily lecture " new era government controlled". He talked about how monolithic forms of centralized government would give way to regional activists, volunteer groups, ideological loners, and enlightened corporations thanks to the Internet. Pure, ringing emptiness. His performance was so arrogant, so mindlessly pompous, that he could probably take half the gold from Bono.
I don't mean to say that all TED Talks are bad. In 2017, there was a great informative talk by Rudyard Williams titled “Why Racism is Bad for Health” about how racial inequality subtly affects the standard of living and health of the whole society. Considered by many to be the best lecture in TED history, “How Schools Suppress Creativity” by Sir Ken Robinson, an education expert, delivered in 2016. If this topic were raised by another speaker, then, most likely, his speech would be unbearable. But Robinson is a born comedian, witty yet calm. He doesn't have the typical TED talker habit of running around the stage with a pointer while slogans and ugly graphics pop up behind him or on the screen. Brain researcher Jill Bolte Taylor gives a gripping account of how she suffered a stroke. For her, as a neuroscientist, this terrible event turned out to be the most educational experience in her life.
My favorite is Monica Lewinsky's "The Cost of Shame" lecture. Unlike other speakers, she managed to avoid complacency and self-promotion. She talked about how someone's sense of shame becomes a reason for general hysteria, how shame turns into a product and is monetized. Lewinsky showed her own take on online bullying. This is especially important now that Melania Trump has turned this topic into the sphere of her own charitable interests - despite the fact that online bullying remains her husband's only tool for communicating with the world.
All in all, there are definitely good things in the TED universe. However, to see them, you may first have to wade through posturing, platitudes, and pompous self-presentation. But if you draw a balance, then below the line it turns out that TED is still on the bright side. The only pity is that the conference will continue to live on without my revolutionary contribution to its history - without the "Selfish Meme".
10 examples of how not to speak at TED:
10. Simon Sinek - How Leaders Inspire Action (2009)
Superficial chatter about what it does Apple market leader and why it was Martin Luther King who led the civil rights movement.
9. Keith Hartman - The Art of Wearable Communication (2011)
A crazy artist and writer shows off silly hats with special tubes that allow you to talk to your own brain. If this is a joke, then it's not funny.
8. Jason Seiken - "If PBS Can Do It, So Can You!" (2012)
A PBS Digital Communications Chief's story of how he made boring public television trendy in the new digital age.
7. Brené Brown - The Power of Vulnerability (2010)
A smug, self-help speech about not being afraid to be vulnerable. At the same time, Brown would rather die than show himself "in all his vulnerability."
6. Bill Clinton - "My desire is to restore Rwanda!" (2007)
Clinton was the most bullied by other TED speakers. And his unbearably boring and conceited chatter about Rwanda and the restoration of its healthcare system - gundezh, gundezh, gundezh ...
5. Bill Gates - Upgrade to Zero (2010)
Did I just say that Bill Clinton is boring? Well, one Bill is worth another. This Bill's speech on climate change and energy is a story about important things, reduced to monotonous, colorless ranting.
4. Malcolm Gladwell - Choice, Happiness and Spaghetti Sauce (2004)
Gladwell is a TED star, but this talk was terrible. He shamelessly advertised his book Illumination.
3. David Cameron - "A New Era of Public Administration" (2010)
With his feigned regret at how unpopular politicians have become these days, Cameron looked like an Eton student in a debate.
2. Elizabeth Gilbert - Your Elusive Creative Genius (2009)
1. Bono - "Good News of Poverty" (2013)
In this speech, Bono brilliantly demonstrated his the most important feature- an absolute inability not to think about yourself. He is on the TED stage, he is the most important and intriguing thing that is happening here. Fighting poverty is his passion. Was it worth devoting an entire lecture to self-praise alone?
- TED (eng. Technology Entertainment Design; Technology, Entertainment, Design)- famous annual conferences that have been held since 1984 in the USA and other countries. Perhaps they represent the most successful embodiment of the concept of "Edutainment" (education + entertainment), which is learning as a way to have fun and spend time.
TED speakers are famous experts and authors: Steve Jobs (Apple), James Cameron (Avatar), Richard Dawkins (The Selfish Gene), Jim Wales (Wikipedia) and many others. They know how to really surprise; while their theories are easy to understand.
The mission of this international (and recently joined by Russia) movement is IDEAS WORTH SPREADING: spreading unique ideas that are found at the intersection of disciplines and doctrines. Lecture topics are very diverse: science, art, design, politics, culture, business, global issues, technology and entertainment .
