My Favorite: TED Talks
I’ve loved TED Talks since I was first introduced to them a few years ago. Because there are so many and most are very inspiring, it took little time for me to have a long list of favorite TED Talks. Here I have compiled some of my favorite Talks so that you’ll be able to find the gems more easily. I’ve tried to organize the Talks by dividing them in categories as best I could, though most cannot be assigned a single category. Enjoy!

- Julia Sweeney has “The Talk”
- Chip Kidd: Designing Books Is No Laughing Matter. Ok it is
