16 (more) Enlightening TED Talks for Foodists
Once again, this week in Vancouver the illustrious TED Conference will commence. I love TED talks, and last year I compiled a list of my all-time favorites on food, health and happiness.
I put together another list of my favorites this year. As tends to happen in life, my interests shifted a bit to focus more on psychology. Specifically why we think, act, and make decisions the way we do. In other words, how we choose to make life awesome.
If you have never heard of TED, their mission is to shine the spotlight on brilliant people who have “ideas worth spreading.”
Traditionally talks were 18 minutes long, but have recently been cut to 12. Little bite-sized nuggets of wisdom it’s hard not to love.
I hope you discover some new people and ideas that make you think.

I think my favourite one is still Anita Sarkeesian’s Ted Talk, she’s a pop culture critic, quite insightful.
