TED:) Not the bear LOL


Ever since Rab introduced us to the TED or TEDex presentation videos, I've been really interested in them. Some of the presenters are very serious, and other are not. Some of the topics are very useful and some others are not. Here are some of the ones I like!!!


This one is called the "Art of Misdirection." Apollo Robbins calls himself one of the most intelligent thieves. He is indeed! I won't give it away, just have a look and see what he does as a "presentation"!


I watched this one because the title looked so interesting...: "How I held my breath for 17 minutes." David Blaine just talks and talks and sometimes drinks about how himself holding his breath. I didn't really think he was one of the best presenters but he surely had something that would attract me. Have a look!


Now, here's something very interesting. This is one of the serious one with a very strong message. Elizabeth Loftus is a psychologist who studies human memory. Her experiments are truly interesting. This is something you should definitely watch if you are interested in how the human memory works.

These three are just a part of my recommendation. There are many other, but I guess I'll leave that for the next time. If you have time on your hands, check it out:) Oh, and if you have any recommendations too, please let me know!!!

  2. WOW the first video is amazing!!! I've replayed it a few times to understand what was really happening and when did he disrupt our attention from the changes he made!! Truly interesting!

  3. Hi Haruka,

    Great vids! I had seen the David Blaine one before, perhaps Apollo Robbins elsewhere, but Elizabeth Loftus was entirely new.

    It is wonderful that you like TED videos so much. This executive coach friend of mine makes it a habit of hers to watch a TED video everyday. It keeps her mind active and open and exposed to new things.
