Why TED Talks don't change people's behaviors: Tom Asacker at TEDxCambridge 2014

- Author and speaker Tom Asacker wondered why so many people watch TED talks and yet so few change their behaviors as a result. His answer? That only one of three elements of our irrational, but innately human, decision-making process truly makes for lasting change. Learn more about Tom Asacker at tomasacker.com and TEDxCambridge at www.tedxcambridge.com.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
I disagree. TED Talks have and are changing my life. I am exercising, drinking water, going out in the sun. I no longer spend countless hours in front of my phone playing games. All of my games have been deleted. I have bought a bathing suit for exercise three times a week. I have decided that there is hope. I have decided to live and not die. I have decided to reinvent my life. I have decided to be positive and not negative. TED Talks have already made me a different and better person. I look forward to what is happening and what is going to happen. I started listening to TED Talks because my nineteen year old daughter told me that I should give a TED Talk. I looked them up and started listening. I am honoured that my daughter compliminted me on such a grand scale.
I don't think TED have made anyone a better person. You have made yourself a better person by putting the information that TED talks gave you into action.
I'd also be curious to know if anything else changed during the time... for example, medications you stopped/started taking...
You have missed the point of his ted talk. Yes, ted talks have triggered a change in you, but the only reaaon you actually took action is because you decided once and for all that the new person you were striving to be, was what you wanted to identify as.
You’re the exception not the rule
It is up to people how should they use the information from Ted Talks. I also think it helped me change. Whatever was the topic, I was trying to get the best out of it. I also think it helps.
I agree with what he is saying, but it wont change my behavior.
Joseph Parker Who do you THINK you are actually...? Just putting the question out there.
Joseph Parker What DOES Actually bring change?
I see. Thank you.
Joseph Parker this comment made me burst into laughter .
Hussein Hisham yeah i dont think the other guy got the joke
I watch TED for a year now, and this year gave more for my personality than 5 years of University.
A single TED can't fundamentally change you, but it changes you step by step, talk by talk.
why are you sharing this? Are you inspiring us to quit university and commit a year in ted talk education?
I don’t know how things are in your country, but in mine the classic education should really change somehow or this won’t sound like a joke :))))
Well I've been watching 5 years and it's set me backwards.
Jk
Well you have more self-awareness now that it has set you backwards. That's progress. @@adabsurdum3314
watched this talk, agreed with his points, changed nothing.
you didin't tried ..you will only change if you try and want to change.,..duh
He says "Desire", if you not have desire logically you don`t change.
Sorry, I'm so late in replying. You might try the Landmark Forum. There is quite a bit included in the course on the "stories" individuals live by. They include exercises to break the stranglehold of a defeating story.
You don't won... expect the unexpected.
there are many things, might be your mindset, your attitude, or even chemicals inside, you probably need a testosterone shot every couple weeks, who knows...
"Information doesn'st move us. Desire moves us.
And desire is ignited and grows on our most potent, personal truth - our identity.
The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.
Who we think we are is why we do what we do."
My personal advice for anyone trying to break out of these behaviors: don't stick to an identity.
What you do defines you, nothing more. If your not doing it, your just telling yourself a story.
This advice makes this talk complete. I agree with the speaker, that "who we think we are is why we do what we do", but the second true is that we usually are not who we think we are. Many times I used to think about myself I have certain identity, and when I started to act in that certain field it was usually turning out that I am actually not the person I thought I was. So I was only telling myslef a story.
I’m just trying to break my mother out of some of these behaviors.
"Who we THINK we ARE, is why WE DO what we do."
younobleview7 "We all BECOME the STORIES we tell OURSELVES." "WHAT STORY am I living?"
Akres Twotwotwo Thank you.
+Raiden G Determines or divulges?
+younobleview7 Both!
+Tom Asacker Interesting. Please, may you explain?
This is the best TED Talk I've ever watched. I can't believe it took me almost 5 years to find it.
I am currently reading a book about awakening kindness, and one of the concepts it teaches is the 3 step process to implementing behavior. It’s actually kind of interesting how I read that earlier today and then stumbled upon this video. I hope this helps someone. The first step is:
Obtaining the information.
The second: developing convictions through deep contemplation and interpretation.
The third: meditating on what it is you learned and creating habits that emulate the behaviors you wish to adopt.
Learn, think, practice. :)
Super thank you!
Watching all these ted talks have very much changed my life and I try to live by them daily. Being creative, vulnerable and striking power poses before i present. This is the reason i still listen to talks. It is not alway easy but you can try if it applies to you so much.
Right, like if you know something is gonna happen to you, maybe, the very next day that you watch the TED Talk then you know it'll be super applicable. But if it's something you won't even end up having a crystal clear situation that you plan on using it then I think it may just fade away at that point... Basically, it all comes down to the matter of convenience since it doesn't really require you to go outta your way to set up your own simulations or situations but you can surely go back and remember a time when the skill would have surely helped you in the past... It's just imprinting that behavior into a habit so that you can master it and then effectively remember the skill by putting into what's called "a reference experience," to some degree, is the trick. Like I remember how, when trained based out on leadership qualities, I was much better able to effectively use one of the skills that I used quite often which was simply asking people more questions and then come to find out that people really like to talk about themselves later on (and even I can see this after being trained by simply being asked a bunch of questions pretty much nonstop) I could both live by receiving the action and then dishing the action out to see how the action feels going both ways.. Might actually help to have friends, in this case, to practice wit, if you can motivate them enough to try if you want to imprint the material that way but, otherwise, the reference experience is most definitely the way to go...
@@inbakumar5374 it's her experience not her perception, she doesn't need your opinion to validate her experience.
@@inbakumar5374 that's a false assumption, and it can be very dangerous in practice. Imagine always relying on someone else to tell you if you have changed or not.
Codependency is not something you want to strive for.
Well your statement does not contradict the lecture, quite the opposite. The fact that you shared this information here means that you added the life changing effects of TED talks to your personal story.
This one should have millions of views.
Actually, listening to ted talks is great when you have different idea from the ones around you. And you listen to someone with a similar mind frame, it makes me feel soo much better.
The time that information enters a persons life is also a factor in retention, acceptance. The formative years in our youth, form us and many of our beliefs, our truths, stay with us for a long time. Until the moment when something shatters our truth. Then the adult changes.
Hi no but
A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities. J.R.R. Tolkien - thank you Tom for the thoughts expressed, and while your thoughts might not change my behavior immediately, your thoughts still have me stop for few moments to think. Thanks.
Thank *you* Erich.
This has been the single most helpful video I have seen in my journey of striving to find the answer for success and motivation. The answer had been inside me all along. It is time to stop setting it aside to look outward and begin looking inward.
There have been a few ted talks that made a difference in my life, then again I applied what I learned unlike most people.
OH HELL DOOD HE WENT THERE!
+Damian Campbell Hi. What are the most important things that you've learned from Ted talks?
I ask because very few things I've seen in them so far have resonated with me.
Thanks :)
most don't give you ways to do stuff ..they only talk ...you are the one who wants to change or not ..if you are not motivated then you won't.
This is so true. So many of the talks seem to follow the same style - introduction, some facts and questions about a subject along with a hypothesis , results of blind tests /clinical trials to support the hypothesis and a conclusion to wrap up the talk but no useful information on how to put the results of the conclusion into practice.
Damian Campbell well aren't you special
"we're not rational thinking machine who deals with facts. we're amazing passionate creatures who are moved by personal truths."
Is that the beginning of Common Sense because a lot of people say people now don't have any common sense

I keeping watching TEDx everyday to practic my listening for about 1 months more now. The moment what I got moved me much, but after it disappear little by little. Just like Tom said. When I found this fact, I began to take some note at once after watching every time. I'll try to strength my desire to last it. Thank you Tom
great talk! and inspiring and easy to understand message
Because words alone do not change our behaviour.
Ted talks changed my life so much.
This talk, was an amazing description of "how we live our stories"
Nnnnnnnnnope.
@@CanadianMGTOW
Ok troll.
I'm an introvert. An introvert that's awake all night, works and sleeps all day.
Naturally, I have a lot of time to think. I use this time to reflect and reteach myself lessons I'm forgetting. I think about the TEDx talks I've watched, and I attempt to apply them every chance I get. I recently got over my fear of public speaking, and all it took was a few talented speakers, and a night to reflect. The knowledge has helped me in so many situations, I've found confidence in situations that used to only bring me anxiety.
You have the power to do whatever you'd like with the information you've been given, provided you make the effort to use it.
Great talk.. thanks Tom..
one of great clip, i have ever watched, tks u so much.
He's right. We are gods who have the ability to project and create our own realities. Don't waste your time thinking about what is possible and what's not.
One of the best talks i've seen and one of the BEST speakers! I wish he had other talks or at least a book :D
+sarayalla He does have several books, I found them on Amazon. I think he's great too!
Really? I didn't know that! thanks! :)
+sarayalla Okay, it's been 3 months since you wrote this comment. How has it changed your behavior?
+Kuvter For me, perhaps this Ted Talk did not change my behavior but rather made me understand the truth. I think that the speaker already implied that it's in our nature so there's really no change required. Am I right?
You can tell me that I'm wrong. But remember, whether I'm wrong or right, it doesn't matter. Because what really matters is on how we see and take control on things based on what we see to ourselves.
TEDx inspires me. TEDx is changing my behavior. This isnt big. This isnt fast. But there are parts of my behavior that I want to change.
Basic "Truths"! One of the best 'Ted's' I've watched!
Absolutely AMAZING!🙌🏽💪🏽THANK YOU
I agree 💯 however, it is a CHOICE!
very inspiring !
We're all waiting for someone else to fix stuff. Truth.
Very strong , inspiring talk ! it may not change all the peoples life but ıts clear that it changes someone's. Thank you !
yes the speaker sibel
his a thousand pounds richer than when he started with this bs
I use TED to learn English :V

Brilliant observations...its your Self Perception/Identity. How you see yourself....
Live lessons must be learned in life by experiencing them. That's why. Love and hugs everybody xxx
it's an amazing TEDx Talk that can change anyone's life.
i agree with that he said to an extent- i think even with a desire to become a certain version of our selves, we are not able to accomplish whatever we imagine without actually processing our environmental inputs into outputs, meaning the most important aspect of becoming who we visualize isn’t exactly desire, but action. both are complementary and necessary but they must coexist to be effective.
Good talk.
I trust my subconscious self-image over force of will to move me forward. It's more fulfilling to internally associate actual effort with the feeling of joy and pleasure & THEN follow through with action with the promise of feeling satisfied (or, at least, contented) during the process than just doing it because my ego nudged me to and expecting my end result to make me happy.
Ted is the best thing I discovered
It changed mine many times! But I will listen to this lecture.
It's the best TED Talk so far for me.
+jiwaw123 I think that it will be the best one ever. For me, the truth is that the realities (the facts, data, etc) are too comprehensive to attach our identities with it and control its entirety.
Just try to see how science evolves. Remember how some old theories are being replaced nowadays?
But all these things that I say just form part of what I want to see myself, thus my identity.
Tom Asacker's ideas are always fresh, interesting and provocative ... and that's certainly evident here. Tom always helps me realize that what we believe, and how we see ourselves, has a more profound influence on what we do and how we act than "facts" ever could. What we believe is our truth. I don't understand the comment from Roman Duran ... this talk is in no way "old school."
Great Ted talk introduction!! Loved it, let's see the rest
definitely, one of the best Ted talks I've heard and seen in years.
Best advice I ever got
OMG spot on, you know you hear so many things in so many ways, but this really got through to me and I have realised that for the last 10 years I have been thinking I'm getting old and past my peak.......wow today is major changing point ....Thanks Tom....PERFECT.... :-)
After reading this you will belive that improving you life is possible and you will go and find the steps needed to do so efficiently. Good luck
I'm sure the speaker watched some "how your shirt should fit" videos, agreed with their points and still chose the shirt in this video.
Prophetic words! Here we are, 4 years later.....
I've been waiting a long time for this ted talk LOL
i liked it - thank you
GREAT talk!
The ancestor also learned that everyone is insane , the ones who do not know it are dangerous. To know your insane , you've solved all your problems. You are now harmless to yourself. , and others.
12:50 Desire/Identity is why
How does this not have more views?!
That's like totally your opinion dude.
Nah, he is undeniably spreading misinformation, probably based on ignorance. This objectively does not deserve any attention, except as an example of sheer ignorance.
@@christophersavignon4191 that is only he is talking about the failure of objectivity and life is influenced by subjectivity..
@@sagarmatadavidya9173
Why, what a coincidence.
When I woke up this morning, I thought that my only wish was a barely coherent, platitude-riddled non-sequitur, in reply to a comment on a video I didn't have any desire to remember.
I can now die as a happy man. Thank you.
The more I drink as I listen, the more sense this guy makes.
Very true very true
You are honest with yourself, because so many people know but like yourself don't take action to change yourself. So do one thing that can make a change...I did
If a TED talk makes you think, it has done its job. There are countless videos on how to lose weight yet there’s a tiny fraction of those viewers who actually follow that advice long term to lose weight. But now they know better even if they did not follow the advice.
Because they're just entertainment. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Think it, act it, become IT.............
+MetalheadYA Uhhhh.... Nice try, inspiration dude.
+Mr Jones No, it's a tried and proven technique. The American phrase is "Fake it 'til you make it". In Britain it's called "Think it, act it, become it". The theory is that if you keep thinking what you want, you act on what you want to become, you will become what you want. At least, that's what my counsellor is saying.
JESUS! This kinda made me emotional at points. He's pretty good at drawing you in.
People disagreeing with him with reasons that just prove his point even more. Most People don't follow through on Tedtalks they agree on because they rely on the novelty and quickly forget the talks. If you want to actually follow through, you have to rely on getting "hyped". This means putting the idea of Tedtalks into your mind whether subconciously or not. Judging by the comments, people changed by TedTalks also treat these Talks as a way of life aka they hype themselves into living out the ideas. Is being into these talks life-improving? Probably a yes. But you have accept that you only started doing it regularly because you liked the idea that keeps popping into your brain that you'd like to identify as being a Tedtalk enthusiast.
Truly amazing..looking at the comments, I can see that it's unfortunately going over many people's heads.
Well that's a very judgmental statement, without even the politeness to explain. Why are you saying that?
i agree with you
Put they do inform and needs to be put out there much more to communities.
TV keeps us engaged
I'm surprised this doesn't have millions of views
dont waste ur time reading comments...u came here for the video ...watch it in full screen
Hmph, if I did that I never would have read your comment, and then where would your readership be? It would be better than most self-published authors, but that's about it.
His understanding of computers (or what they could be) is simplistic. The metaphor is good and useful.
The identity he spoke of is a set of beliefs about ourselves, and these beliefs are rules and could be programmed into a computer.
Beliefs are always being updated, based on memories, perceptions, and desires. Do you really think you can program a computer to "feel" the same way as a human being?
This is the best thing ever. So true, so inspiring. The world should start appreciating animals and nature more.
watched this on some molly. Can recommend for those stuck in a rut 👍
And after a rousing round of applause, all the audience members went back to the same old lives they'd been living.

@@Beebop121 HAHAHAHAHA! Beautiful! And unfortunately....
Tom Asacker, how do you account for the people that do change. In my experience, it may be only one change at a time... changing my posture as per Amy Cuddy's recommendations, but one change becomes 2, then three, etc. Any thoughts on this. I look forward to your feedback, Thanks
2:45 "So why don't we do what we know we should do?" I have found that the common denominator is always that "the experts'" proposed solutions take too much time, too much effort, and too much risk.
We push hard to perfect
So new behaviors appear
But there's a disconnect
From what we know and what we call near
Imagine and construct
Your new journey in life
Optimize and instruct
Who you want to be like
Desires to go far
Are not determined by facts
Who we think we are
Establishes how one acts
wow that's actually spot on and perfectly related to this talk
andro schrader I love this topic. I also love neuroscience. Thanks for reading it.
beautifully expressed!
I was pretty inspired. If you don't want to do a thing, you gonna find thousands of excuses, but is you want to do something, there is just one excuse that: I WANT TO DO IT. there are a lot of things in this lecture could be expanded and worth thinking deeply about. thank you Tom Asacker.
Coherency is the soul of... coherency.
This one may be the last Ted Talk I watch. 😂 But the guy has good points. It's REALLY HARD to make changes - ask any aspiring chess player. 🙂
But, on a positive note, we must note that we, after listening to these types of talks, slowly change our perspective and evolving. The changes may not be immediate, but the message has a chance of catching up some time down the line. And that already is infinitely better than nothing. ✌️
Change is a choice. You cant change what does not want to change but they can be made aware.
EXCELLENT POINT (-_-)
U choose...your choice. I have one that has really helped me and good. What I find in this world now is that people want an instantaneous solution to their problems. If the problem was a short problem, instantaneous might work. But problems are what happen as we are growing and as we are learning in our relationships with others and all that good stuff. And you can't solve it by a tweet. You can't solve it by a short email. You can't solve it by griping about everything. You have to dig just a little bit underneath your surface and think. And you have to be mindful of what you're thinking. You have to come up with more than one -letter word than what we are generally utter when we are upset. Use your brain for more than a hat rack. Come up with possible new solutions for yourself and sometimes TEDTalks can help you figure out what you can consider in thinking . They are not panaceas...merely an adjunct...
this is really good because i also believe the vast majority of the ted talks are a waste of time
Matthias Schulze it depends on WHY you are watching them and what you are expecting to get out of them. It can only be a waste of time if you expected something from it. So can you elaborate on WHY you thought so? and yet it's funny in the same breath you also said "This is really good". Plus , was that what his message was? or what you got out of his message? that Ted Talks are just a waste of time? I dont' agree w/ this guy much though because I neve rhad the intent of changing by watching them. I think it is interesting to listen to other people's ideas to see what is going on what people are up to and I have found some to be interesting in things that they researched or developed. What are they INTENDED TO DO? to inspire? to educate? to inform? to spread ideas? But in the end no one actually DOES anything with the ideas they listen to, again that has to do with the fact that if one wants to change or do something it takes much more than just watching one 20 minute clip (of which you don't now til you watch it what it even is about).....so I'm confused by this guys' approach as well, but I think he brings up some interesting points about how Humans Operate. something that we are continuuosly learning and in my view should be trying to improve and KNOW and understand ourselves.
Matthias Schulze yeah i think you an only say something is a time water if there was something that you expected it to do and it didn't do it. So it's a two way street but you are the one in the driver's seat not the Source you are dissing.
If you feel that it is wasting your time then why do it? wouldn't you just turn it off if you felt that way? You are the one controlling how you spend your time, no one forced you to watch it did they? so HOW does time get wasted? if not by ourselves??? Not trying to beat you up but I think that people say this without thinking of what they are saying and i guess it must just be intended as a criticism of the source. At the same time you also said within the SAME SENTENCE "THIS IS REALLY GOOD", so how can it be really good AND a waste of time at the same time??? Too Funny! I think it shows how we make comments w/o thinking about what we are saying. It is so hard to interpret sometimes what people mean through this type of venue, as is also texting....now was reading this reply to your comment also a "waste of time"...We are in charge of how we spend our time so I guess that is why I don't get that comment, nor do I recall ever saying it. If I felt that way I wouldn't do it Right??? What am I missing here? not picking on you this is directed at everyone who says this , it's fairly common to see this comment I finally had to break down and say something.... hope it doesn't bother you...if you even see it.
Ms. Decker, indeed I did read through your lengthy reply to my posted comment. I will admit it was made in haste and my English is perhaps not so thoroughly correct but the essence is true. If you haven't sat through as many presentations at conferences and meetings that were a waste of time much like all of these TedTalks, then that is wonderful, you will have many years before you come to this conclusion yourself. I can only assume that you are a fan of these TedTalks and have obtained much intellectual stimulation and pleasure from them. I am very happy for you. Me and many other individuals find these talks simply a snake oil sale with a catchy title.
+Matthias Schulze I fully agree. Indeed a snake oil sale with a catchy title. Infact the title is the only thing which is promising which grabs people's (suckers?) attention and they sit through the 10-20 minutes hoping for that wisdom to come thru. At the end, it's the same story - great title , great public speaking skill , rest is all gas!
+Melwyn Rodrigues And that includes this video talk too!
This is too generalistic. Some people are affected by some events, other aren't, like everything in life. Maybe a person decides to become a doctor or a veterinarian after they witness an accident or something, while most others just go along with their lives, while others develop anxiety, depression, panic attacks, etc. Obviously a 20 minute video of someone speaking has not the impact to changes drastically someone's life immediately, but it may be a seed, or the last drop, in a series of thoughts that do eventually present a reasonable effect on some people. Maybe many people who were struggling to "conform" and give up being a dancer or a musician, had a new spark of motivation after watching Ken Robinson. Of course most people are already immersed and adapted to an environment where it takes more than an advice in order for them to change considerably. Most people are somewhat trapped in a web, they're already a piece of a mechanism that functions in a certain way, and simply "wishing", or even trying to change, will affect that mechanism, and the other "pieces" will force the person to go back to the place where "things work". Adults are organisms who have already been through a long process of adapting through conditioning and trial and error. The "changes" have already happened, and that is the "learning" process. When you're a kid you may try many things, different foods, different sports. The way a person feels in these experiences will mold them. If you hate certain foods, you will adapt, search for what you like, for what makes you feel good. If you fail at certain sports, you will tend to avoid them. Many times the kid does have a talent and a will, a desire to do something, but the parents block it, say it is a waste of time, etc. Other people simply detach from reality, and avoid or ignore other people, for example. Like those singers who are terrible, but thing that all other people are stupid for not recognizing their talent (anyone who has ever watched American Idol first episodes know exactly how that is). Anyway, kids and teenagers are still flexible and curious, and eager to evolve. After a person becomes an adult, they're fully molded, and it's more difficult to change, unless, of course, it's something they REALLY want, and precisely the environment and lack of money they encountered in their younger years is what prevented them from this change. Most people who change a lot after late 20's are people who felt shackled, and then grew apart from family and their hometown and etc., and started having their own money and being able to make their own decisions without being repressed and limited by other people. The best way to change your behavior is obviously not watching TED talks, but getting a hold of considerable amounts of money.
👍👌
Wow
I think his point is that we don't change when we know we should because it doesn't identify with our identity (sense of who we believe/think we are). He made a pretty clear point that we aren't affected by the facts but driven by our desire to become what we want to become. An accident/incident/a TED talk is a fact, a reality. So, some people change when they see a reality and some others don't simply because it depends on what they want to become...If you think you're an opportunity-seizing person, you act when you see an opportunity. If you think you come from a poor family and won't ever get rid of that identity it will hinder you to act more confidently, etc...
i agree
I love pretty much all foods... and I don't think you need money to change behavior but it would help for sure, as you say to get away from negative influences that you may have to reply upon for financial reasons.
I've been watching Ted talk leactures over the course of maybe 5 days , I still don't see so much change because I'm totally impatient 🙃and that hangs over my entire life , our substantial problem is patience and it's never gonna be easy if we don't push ourselves and contemplate our recent life , where is it going .... what are we doing in every individual day then we will determine whether ted talks are helping us or are we not getting it in easily
This video goes great with some smoooth jazz
The difference between the world we all dream about and the one we actually have is having more people like you Tom Asacker.
Mmm; cue heartfelt applause.
Yes. I dream of a world where among other wonderful things, people educate themselves to avoid talking about something they don't understand.
The difference between the world we have and the world I dream of is that the world we have has way too many people who speak falsehoods with the conviction born from ignorance. Just like this Tom Ansacker here, who knows nothing about computers but builds the premise of his Ted Talk on the subject.
ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth
brillant
But compulsively watching TED Talks really HAS changed my life... my girlfriend left me, I lost my job, I have a bad neck and poorer vision, plus now I have at least a thousand hours less to live. Go figure!
Is what you said a really funny joke or a miserable story?

I can't stop watching Tedx Talks vids.
Yeah, although I absolutely love Ted talks and watch them a lot and completely agree with a lot of the advice in them, yet I don’t make any moves or changes to follow them through. It’s like I’m too scared to leave my comfort zone. I know that if I put into action the advice from these talks it would change my life, but I don’t. Funnily enough, there’s a Ted talk called “how to get what you want” and the speaker makes the point that even though everyday we have life changing ideas, we just throw them away because we get too comfortable in our comfort zones and don’t leave them enough.
yes ! yes! yes! Making people WANT to change is the only way to make them change. Art can change the world becuse it has the ability to inspire.Good art affects us because it can touch us in the emotional level.
The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.....Teach your brain what you want it to think. You only see what you are looking at.
Shiney is our motivator!

thıs talk has changed my all behavıors
dynamic go-getter!
I honestly was confused about his points and how we can implement them. Is he talking about you are what you think? Not really sure
one of the best ted talks I have watched.
