  • A comment on Conversation: What's the best hidden gem in the TED archive?

    Feb 23 2011: I will not mention Banjamin Zander's talk as I do not believe this is a hidden gem :-) (However, If you have not seen it, I will recommend watching it as you will truly enjoy it). It can be found at www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/benjamin_zander_on_music_and_passion.html.

    2 hidden gems are for me

    1) Chimamanda Adichie, about how influenced and shaped we can be by stories.

    2) Kavita Ramdas about how women can walk the line between Western-style empowerment and traditional culture? www.ted.com/talks/kavita_ramdas_radical_women_embracing_tradition.html

    A comment on Conversation: What's the overlooked gem, the book I haven't read that I must?

    Feb 15 2011: Just finished reading "The hidden brain" from Shankar Vedantam. And I would recommend reading it. Some chapters appealed more to me than others, or said in another way I am not sure I would have included all the chapters in the book, nevertheless that stuff is fascinating.

    You can read more about it on www.hiddenbrain.org/
