Já postei aqui sobre o Jaime Lerner falando sobre design e sustentabilidade no TED, mas agora eu quero mesmo é falar sobre o site em si.
TED é uma conferência anual que reúne os mais fascinantes pensadores do mundo e que são desafiados a dar a melhor apresentação de suas vidas em 18 minutos. No TED.com eles disponibilizam, de graça, as melhores apresentações e performances sobre vários temas, tais como tecnologia, entretenimento, design, negócios, ciência, cultura, entre outros.
Só pra citar alguns nomes que já passaram por lá: Al Gore, Stefan Sagmeister, Philippe Starck, Bono e Stephen Hawking.
Vale a pena reservar um tempinho pra dar uma navegada com calma e assistir uns vídeos. São inspiradores, eu garanto. E você pode baixá-los pro computador e/ou iTunes. Eles também tem um blog: TEDBlog.
Lá vai uma dica pra começar: apresentação da cientista cerebral Jill Bolte Taylor. Estou assistindo neste exato momento. Assista também!

Sou designer, fascinado pela internet, trabalho com direção de arte pra web e você pode ver meus melhores trabalhos 
jurava que só eu via este site.
Maravilhoso, assinto tudo e fico esperando atualizações diariamente.
Eu conheci há pouco tempo. Mas já faz parte dos favoritos.
Excelente dica!
Vou passar a visitar mais vezes…
Só pra não passar em branco, o design da interface deles é muuuuito bom.

I recommend Amazon as the place to get Jill Bolte Taylor’s book MY STROKE OF INSIGHT because they have a wonderful interview with her on Amazon that offers new content I haven’t seen anywhere else – that link is: http://www.amazon.com/My-Stroke-Insight-Scientists-Personal/dp/0670020745/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1211471755&sr=1-2
The book is an absolutely wonderful journey by a brain scientist who suffered a stroke. She recovered fully, back to teaching at Medical School no less (and she gives great tips on how and what to do to recover from a Stroke or help others recover).
Dr Taylor also learned to fully be present in the part of the brain/mind where we experience full inner peace and Nirvana. SHe teaches that too, and that’s why everyone should read this book.
This story is as inspiring as The Last Lecture or Tuesdays with Morrie – and it has a Happy Ending!
I read “My Stroke of Insight” in one sitting – I couldn’t put it down. I laughed. I cried. It was a fantastic book (I heard it’s a NYTimes Bestseller and I can see why!), but I also think it will be the start of a new, transformative Movement! No one wants to have a stroke as Jill Bolte Taylor did, but her experience can teach us all how to live better lives. Her TED.com speech was one of the most incredibly moving, stimulating, wonderful videos I’ve ever seen. Her Oprah Soul Series interviews were fascinating. They should make a movie of her life so everyone sees it. This is the Real Deal and gives me hope for humanity.
Thank you for that. Jill Bolte Taylor’s My Stroke of Insight is one of the most incredible stories I’ve heard in a long time. Her TEDTalk video blew my mind wide open to new possibilities. On the one hand, there’s what she went through and how she emerged from it. On the other hand, there’s what she can teach all of us.
I saw the 4 part Oprah interview on Oprah dot com Soul Series and I did learn a lot from that, but I’d like to find our more of how to do what Dr. Taylor did, without having a stroke of course!
Thin how many of us are living too much in the head, and not the heart. And of course, you can’t get more left brain than a Harvard Brain Scientist. Isn’t it ironic that she should be the one to have the stroke and transform from the quintessential left brainer into this “”seen the light”" disciple of finding inner peace?
I hope this movement keeps going. Maybe there will be My Stroke of Insight classes where we can practice what Jill Bolte Taylor is preaching.
