Top 600 TED Talks

The following is a list of the top 600 TED Talks by engagement data. If you haven’t already discovered the wonders of TED Talks, please begin at #1.

Watching these talks is like popping a Writers/Life/Work Block pill. And while they have a tendency to give you a bad case of Quarter Life Crises because you haven’t turned dirty water to clean water or started a health revolution or been 11 years old preaching to adults about creativity, they are also a source of endless ideas from places and people and from subjects you might not have looked at in the first place.

Some of my personal favorites:

  1. Alaid de Botton: A kinder, gentler philosophy of success
  2. Rory Sutherland: Life lessons from an ad man
  3. Taryn Simon: Photograph secret sites
  4. JK Rowling: The fringe benefits of failure

TED Talks are my Sudoku alternative…
