To go along with our interview with Chris Anderson, I thought I’d try to give you a list of the best TED talks. I quickly realised that this was not only a pointless task, but a stupid one. The well is deep, and the well is wide, and what you want will depend on your mood. So here are a few of our favourites – why don’t you chip in with some more?

Thanks for posting these talks, I love TED talks so much - really like the first one here, too, by Brenna Brown.
I'd like to submit some of my favourite too, if I may... I've listed my four favourite ones here:

It is not often that i hear something that actually changes my view on the world. Here are two talks that have done just that.

Hans Rosling is brilliant, and I probably love his talks because I've spent so much time thinking about how to improve the lives of the bottom billion:

Oh, and he swallows swords. If you ever interview him for Dumbo Feather, I'd be green with envy.
Aimee Mullins is inspirational, athletic and pretty damn attractive.

After hearing about a Jui in Bangladesh, who had her hand cut off by her husband because he didn't want her to get educated (http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=219262), I almost thought I would send a message to Aimee asking if she would support Jui and by doing so, support the education of girls in developing countries worldwide..
Love Ted Talks! great interview with Chris.

Hi,
I absolutely love ted talks, this is what I listen to when I am doing the house work. I just think this ted talk by Elizabeth Gilbert the author of Eat, Pray, Love on creativity is fantastic.
