What inspires you? What do you do when you are not feeling motivated? I love to read and listen to podcasts, but when I need to feel inspired and motivated I turn to Ted Talks.
There four talks (which I have watched multiple times) always leave me inspired to take on the day.
Author Isabel Allende is 71. Yes, she has a
few wrinkles—but she has incredible perspective too. In this candid talk, meant
for viewers of all ages, she talks about her fears as she gets older and shares
how she plans to keep on living passionately.
Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model
for inspirational leadership -- starting with a golden circle and the question
"Why?"
We believe we should work hard in order to
be happy, but could we be thinking about things backwards? In this fast-moving
and very funny talk, psychologist Shawn Achor argues that, actually, happiness
inspires us to be more productive.
Dan Gilbert, author of "Stumbling on
Happiness," challenges the idea that we'll be miserable if we don't get
what we want. Our "psychological immune system" lets us feel truly
happy even when things don't go as planned.
