This 2006 TED talk is witty, smart, and significant, I think, although not surprising. Schools kill creativity. Unfortunately, that’s not a surprise. Sigh … but it makes for a fasciniating 19 minutes

What makes you happy?
Samuel Johnson said happiness was anticipation, more than realization. Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning indicated it was being needed by loved ones, helping loved ones. Towards the end of this talk, she puts up an interesting set of slides about quantum change in values.
And what does Sheryl Crow say, in Soak up the Sun? It’s:
It’s not having what you want, it’s wanting what you’ve got.

Happiness seems really important to me. I guess I’d have to say I think I know it when I see it, but I wouldn’t want to have to define it.
This is an interesting talk.

This is Richard St. John, in a TED talk in February of 2009. His title is “Success is a Continuous Journey.”
If you don’t see it here, you can click this link to go to the source in YouTube.
And, by the way, if you haven’t seen Richard St. John’s 8 to be Great, it’s also excellent, a must-see five-minute video.

Statistics. Picturing large numbers. Communicating numbers. Some of the numbers in this 11-minute talk are just amazing. He asks: "have we lost our sense of outrage?"
If the video here doesn’t show up — technical details — the link is Picturing Excess. Or, alternatively, here is the video, from Chris Jordan, speaking at TED.
