On the Topic of TED

A few more excellent TED talks that I’ve recently stumbled on:

Malcolm Gladwell on what we can learn from spaghetti sauce: As per usual, Gladwell challenges the idea of “common sense” and gets you thinking in ways that you normally don’t.

Barry Schwartz on the paradox of choice: Does freedom of choice really make us happier as a people?

Bill Gates on what we can do right now to change the world: As a lifelong believer of giving people the tools to solve problems well within their reach, Gates poses simple solutions to seemingly complex problems. His argument is that some problems don’t get solved simply because the market is not motivated to tackle them. What can we do to change that?

If you have a few minutes to be challenged, do drop by the TED website and listen to some smart people.
