The Way We Think About Charity is Dead Wrong: Dan Pallotta.
At TED2013 Artist Liu Bolin talks about his remarkable installations, in which he seems to disappear in plain sight.
“The harmful effects of stress on health are not inevitable,” [Kelly] McGonigal says. “How you think and how you act can transform your experience of stress. When you choose to view your stress response as helpful, you create the biology of courage. And when you choose to connect with others under stress, you can create resilience.” So while she obviously wouldn’t ask for more stressful experiences in her own life, she does have a new appreciation of the condition. ”When you choose to view stress in this way, you’re not just getting better at stress, you’re actually making a pretty profound statement,” she concludes. “You can trust yourself to handle life’s challenges. And you’re remembering you don’t have to face them alone.”

can you tell i'm avoiding essays? i've been on a bit of a TED fest since...yesterday, listening to talks about Spoken Word Poetry (the vid i posted), social inequality within countries (which actually proved pretty useful for my essay) and the art of telling a story. it's all very cool :) i remembered seeing some links from Oliver Jeffers (the awesome illustrator) about his involvement with the 2013 TED sesh, so i just had a little google and this is the intro vid that he helped make :)

Joshua Prager at TED
I was in Long Beach last week to see my good friend Joshua Prager give a riveting talk at the TED conference. Below are a few of the photos I took of Josh at TED before and during his talk on Friday.
