As someone who has lived with high levels of anxiety most of my life, I found this talk to be riveting and hopeful. Another example of gaining deeper understanding into ourselves and how our \u201coperating system\u201d works and allowing ourselves a greater chance of being effective captains of our own boats in this life. Also valuable knowledge for helping others by the brilliant Nobel Prize laureate Richard Feynman about the importance of the teacher addressing their audience\u2019s ability to understand. Indeed, when we face an audience, we must remember that we are not doing so because we are experts in the field we plan to discuss rather because we are experts in explaining the field. We should not be under the impression that we stand before them as subject matter experts but rather that we stand before them as teachers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Remember the old question of \u201cNature vs. Nurture\u201d? A wonderful talk about how the social conditions in which we live materially affect the longevity of our lives. How large is the gap between the insights presented in this talk and the social conditions of your own lives? What takeaways can you extract from this interesting talk?<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t I like this video because it offers another angle for understanding EQ (Emotional Intelligence), which I have long believed to be one of the most important types of intelligence for effective interpersonal interactions and happiness itself. The idea of prediction and the path offered speak to more control over how we experience the otherwise hectic and impossibly complex world around us and appeal very much to me.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Perhaps one of the very best talks I have heard to date. A paradigm shifting presentation that every leader of every NGO, and more importantly – every philanthropist must watch and internalize. Personally, I challenge the very phrase “non-profit” because I believe that no organization or endeavor is truly not-for-profit but that rather the difference between a commercial entity and a socially driven entity is in how they define profit. For commercial entities, profit is primarily defined in monetary terms, whereas socially and ideologically motivated organizations (and initiatives) should define their profit in terms of “the measurable scope of positive change” they are able to ensure relative to the resources expended (the risk) towards these accomplishments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Also in the top 3 best talks I have heard to date. While this talk clearly and compellingly addresses the shortcomings of our formal educational systems, we have frequently incorporated viewing this video into corporate workshops and executive offsite sessions that we conducted. Why? Because learning and ongoing development has long since become a critical components of large organizations and is not limited to our 12 years of easily education and later our academic education. Many of the insights in this talk are actually highly relevant to large enterprises and in fact any large organization that is naturally susceptible to dogmatic thinking, operational stagnation and the crushing creative thinking.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\tTHE SECRET TO LIVING LONGER MAY BE YOUR SOCIAL LIFE | SUSAN PINKER<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
