I don't know if you guys know this, but I have a huge fetish for TED Talks because they have some really awesome, clever, and entertaining content. I want to use this thread for us to share some of their talks, especially any that really resonate with you.

Here are two I watched earlier today. One is about stress and how we're often told the wrong things about it - and that a different perspective on it may give you more confidence when doing difficult tasks and may even save your life. The second is about body language and how you can change your demeanor to convince your body and mind that you are confident and assertive.

Give them a look:
