Artificial Intelligence—Crucial Capacity to Learn

Use AI for Good

Dr. Fei-Fei Li, PhD, professor of computer science at Stanford University and a pioneer and expert in artificial intelligence (AI), discusses how AI can be used safely and effectively to extend human capabilities and increase human intelligence and creativity. Dr. Fei-Fei Li discusses that humans collaborating with AI and robots stand to positively transform human health and one’s experience of life, covers what makes AI fundamentally different from human cognition, and explains why intuition and unique experiences are not replicable by AI or machines.

Humans Merging with AI

Tech entrepreneur D. Scott Phoenix spent years building AI and he believes we're on the cusp of a profound merger between humans and machines.

AI Revolution is Underhyped

Former Google CEO and Chairman Eric Schmidt makes the case that AI is wildly underhyped, as near-constant breakthroughs give rise to systems capable of doing even the most complex tasks on their own. Schmidt explores the staggering opportunities, sobering challenges, and urgent risks of AI, showing why everyone will need to engage with this technology in order to remain relevant.

Gen AI Revolution

The AI revolution is here to stay, says Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. In a probing, live conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, Altman discusses the astonishing growth of AI and shows how models like ChatGPT could soon become extensions of ourselves. He also addresses questions of safety, power and moral authority, reflecting on the world he envisions — where AI will almost certainly outpace human intelligence

Gen AI Prompt Engineering

In a talk from the cutting edge of technology, OpenAI cofounder Greg Brockman explores the underlying design principles of ChatGPT and demos some mind-blowing plug-ins for the chatbot that sent shockwaves across the world. After the talk, head of TED Chris Anderson joins Brockman to dig into the timeline of ChatGPT's development and get Brockman's take on the risks, raised by many in the tech industry and beyond, of releasing such a powerful tool into the world.

Emotional Intelligence—Crucial Capacity to Learn

What are Emotions?

Can you look at someone's face and know what they're feeling? Does everyone experience happiness, sadness and anxiety the same way? What are emotions anyway? For the past 30 years, psychology professor Lisa Feldman Barrett has mapped facial expressions, scanned brains, and analyzed hundreds of physiology studies to understand what emotions really are. She shares the results of her exhaustive research and explains how we may have more control over our emotions than we think. Consider listening to her TED Talk: You aren't at the mercy of your emotions; your brain creates them.

Emotional Intelligence Explained

Psychologist Daniel Goleman explains the four domains of emotional intelligence and 12 competencies of those with high levels of emotional intelligence. Dr. Goleman also explains that emotional intelligence is learnable at any point in life.

Power of Emotional Intelligence

Psychologist Susan David shares how the way we deal with our emotions shapes everything that matters: our actions, careers, relationships, health and happiness. In this deeply moving, humorous and potentially life-changing talk, she challenges a culture that prizes positivity over emotional truth and discusses the powerful strategies of emotional agility.

Thinking—Crucial Capacity to Learn

Critical Thinking

Critical thinking increasingly stands out as the most sought-after skill that has long been too fleeting to define. Employers rate it as a pinnacle skill, but one of which they see too little. Educators claim to teach it, but over half of Millennials recently failed a simple Mindedge critical thinking test. So, what is critical thinking? Analysis? Information literacy? Thinking innovatively inside/outside the box? Informal logic? Problem-solving? Evaluating data? Decision science? What if all of our efforts to define critical thinking have been the core problem with teaching it and learning it? What if, instead of using our brains to devise conceptions of critical thinking, we eliminated the noise and simply teach people to think better and critically by tracing critical thinking back to its core evolutionary survival mechanisms?

Thinking Habits

Organizational psychologist Adam Grant studies "original thinkers", those who dream up new ideas and take action to put those ideas into this world. There are three unexpected habits of original thinkers, and one crucial habit is failure. The greatest original thinkers are the ones who fail the most... Consider listening to his TED Talk: The surprising habits of original thinkers.

Creative Thinking

Challenges and problems can derail your creative process...or they can make you more creative than ever. Tim Harford shares the surprising story behind the best-selling solo piano album of all time and just may convince you of the advantages of productively working and coping amid an entangled mess.

Leadership & Followership—Crucial Capacity to Learn

Umbrella Model of Leadership

Leadership is a function that includes direction, alignment, and commitment.

The Art of Leadership

Leadership is a social process and influence to get followers to believe. Connection and humility are crucial in leadership.

Leadership is Followership

Joe Reichert demystifies leadership by defining what it actually is.... followership.

What it Takes to be a Great Leader

Roselinde Torres describes 25 years observing truly great leaders at work and shares three simple and crucial questions that company chiefs need to ask to thrive in the future. 1-Where are you looking to anticipate the next change? 2-What is the diversity measure of your network? 3-Are you courageous enough to abandon a practice that has made you successful in the past?

What it Takes to Become an Effective Leader

Harvard business school professor and renowned scholar, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, discusses six evidenced-based keys to become an effective leader. 1-show up, 2-speak up, 3-look up, 4-team up, 5-never give up, and 6-lift others up. Consider listening to her uplifting inspirational TED Talk: Six keys to leading positive change.

What Happens When One Leader and One Follower Stand Up with Courage...

Derek Silvers might know one of the secrets to effective leadership...through examining one component of the leader-follower relationship. His three-minute talk provides a powerful example of what can happen when one leader and one follower stand up with passion and courage. Consider listening to his TED Talk: How to start a movement.

Sturdy Leadership and Getting Good at Relationship Repair

Dr. Becky Kennedy is a clinical psychologist specializing in effective parenting. Her compelling discussion on "getting good at repair" is applicable to any meaningful relationship, whether that be in parenting, friendship, or leadership. The doctor's definition of repair is the act of going back to a moment of action, taking responsibility for your behavior, and acknowledging the impact that it had on another. A repair is not necessarily an apology, rather it opens one up for depth of conversation surrounding expectations, behavior, and miscommunication. Consider listening to her TED Talk: The single most important parenting strategy.

Take Control of your Health

Sleep/Rest

Our ability to perform mentally and physically depends upon sleep. Most adults require 7-8 hours of sleep each night for optimal performance. Rest, which is separate from sleep, is also crucial. Consider listening to Dr. Matt Walker discuss sleep in his TED Talk. And, here is an article by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith to consider reading regarding the seven types of rest. The 7 types of rest that every person needs | (ted.com)

Nutrition/Nutrients

Fueling the mind and body with quality nutrition, including macronutrients, micronutrients, and hydration, is of the utmost importance. Nutrition is the process of eating the right kinds of nutrients over time in order to support growth and stay healthy. Nutrition is the study of nutrients in food, how the body uses them, and the relationship between diet and health. Because people have different dietary needs, some might need more of some kind of nutrients, while others need less. So, nutrition is measured differently than nutrients are. Finding out whether someone is getting the right nutrition for their body involves examining a person’s individual needs over time. From the hydration standpoint, take your body weight and divide it in half. Whatever that number is will be the number of ounces of pure water to drink each day. Consider listening to Dr. Rupy Aujla discuss using food as medicine.

Movement/Exercise

Did you know that each human has a physical exercise that, when discovered, brings intrinsic motivation to want to perform that exercise regularly? Moving the body through a combination of resistance and cardiovascular exercises is vital. Consider listening to Dr. Wendy Suzuki discuss movement of the body and exercise.

Spirituality/Connection/Relationships

Building and sustaining relationships contributes to longevity and nurtures the soul. Consider listening to Molly Carroll, therapist and life coach, discuss the need for human connection.

Light

Getting sunlight in your eyes early in the day and limiting blue light in your eyes late in the day regulates the rhythms within our bodies. Red light therapy on the face and body is beneficial for rejuvenation and repair. Consider listening to Dan Pardi discuss "light’s dramatic impact on human wellness".

Stress Management

Dr. Andrew Huberman explains strategies for managing stress, in the short and long term, to enhance overall well-being. Dr. Huberman also discusses how the mind and body respond to stress and how acute stress has immune-boosting benefits. Additionally, there is commentary regarding science-supported tools and supplements to better manage stress in real time and protocols for raising one's stress threshold to build resilience to life’s inevitable challenges. Consider listening to this Huberman Lab Essentials episode to learn practices for reducing chronic stress and maintaining a balanced and healthy life.

Oral/Gut Health

The next breakthrough in preventive medicine isn’t in a lab, it’s in your gut/mouth. Inside every drop of saliva lies information powerful enough to heal, or to harm your gut, and therefore your body and mind. Every day, your body produces nearly a liter of saliva, carrying bacteria, enzymes, and inflammatory markers that tell the real story of your health, often long before symptoms ever appear. In this eye-opening TEDx talk, Stephen Thorne, Founder & CEO of PDS Health®, discusses how our guts/mouths are a gateway to many of the chronic inflammatory diseases we fear most, the bacteria that thrive in our guts/mouths can fuel heart disease, dementia, diabetes, cancers, lung disease, and more.

Toxins

Your body is under a silent chemical exposure siege from daily toxins you likely never noticed. Dr. Mark Hyman reveals the hidden "toxic load" triggering poor health and fatigue and explains the startling science of environmental toxins. In this talk you’ll learn exactly how ubiquitous chemicals like BPA, phthalates, and glyphosate act as "obesogens" and "hormone disruptors," effectively clogging your metabolic engine and driving persistent inflammation. No, you cannot live in a bubble, however, there are strategic, low-cost swaps to consider that will help you take back control of your biology.

Grit

Grit is a predictor of success. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H14bBuluwB8

Vulnerability

Vulnerability is the courage to be authentic, open, and transparent, allowing others to see the real you, including your limitations, imperfections, thoughts, and emotions. Vulnerability builds connection, trust, and brings freedom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvmsMzlF7o

Multiculturalism

In a world where your next colleague, neighbor, or collaborator could come from anywhere on the globe, multicultural understanding isn't just nice to have, it's the key to unlocking opportunities and building meaningful connections that transcend boundaries. Every culture holds pieces of humanity's greatest innovations and wisest solutions, and those who learn to bridge cultural divides don't just succeed in our interconnected world, they help shape it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ihs241zeg

Motivation

Traditional incentives and rewards aren't always as effective as one may think. Humans have natural psychological needs for motivation, such as competence and relatedness, and increased performance is built on intrinsic motivators, such as autonomy, mastery, and purpose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrkrvAUbU9Y

Deep Work

Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on cognitively demanding tasks that create new value, improve your skill, or are difficult to replicate. Deep work is the kind of concentrated effort that produces your most meaningful work while becoming increasingly rare and valuable in our age of constant connectivity and shallow distractions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E7hkPZ-HTk

Introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to this world and must be encouraged and celebrated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0KYU2j0TM4
