I was talking to someone about a recent TED talk, and we thought I might put some of my favourite TED talks of all time. Here's part 1 of my list.
I have to start with one of the most challenging talks ever:
Other talks of interest cover a wide range of topics.
Our Loss of Wisdom - Barry Schwartz

A Defence of idealism by Viktor Frankl
http://www.ted.com/talks/viktor_frankl_youth_in_search_of_meaning.html
Gamification - how it can benefit. - Jane McGonical
http://www.ted.com/talks/jane_mcgonigal_the_game_that_can_give_you_10_extra_years_of_life.html
A very different take on the voices in our head - Eleanor Longden

Of course I love Steven Pinker - he has several talks but this one explores our language.
