TED Books

From 2011 to 2019, TED Books turned some of our speakers' biggest ideas into short books: long enough to dig into an idea in full, short enough to read in a single sitting. The series picked up where a talk left off, on subjects from asteroid hunting to grief, dinosaurs to the refugee crisis.

TED Books is no longer publishing new titles.
