9. Why we do what we do – Tony Robbins
Tony Robbins discusses the “invisible forces” that motivate everyone.
10. The power of introverts – Susan Cain
In a culture where being social and outgoing are prized above all else, it can be difficult, even shameful, to be an introvert. But, as Susan Cain argues in this passionate talk, introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world, and should be encouraged and celebrated.
It is my belief that once you watch a couple of TED talks you will hooked on to it because of the deep insights these experts provide on the related subjects. I would say instead of killing time on YouTube, better watch TED talks. TED is available on almost every platform – Android, iPhone, iTunes and even Netflix now has TED talks section.
