Ted jumped into my life when I 'StumbleUpon' it using the toolbar of the same name, my first ever video Why are we happy: http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_gilbert_asks_why_are_we_happy.html And never left. As my interests vary a wide range of subjects, and I love to learn about things I wouldn't normally know about TED is very good showing a range of varied thought provoking talks and discussions that I love!
