«Мы производим детей на свет и калечим их по своему образу и подобию» (А. и Б. Стругацкие)

Провокационное название выступления Анны Титович – не призыв к child-free образу жизни. Наоборот, Анна поделится своим взглядом на то, что такое «правильные» родители.

В последние годы Анна работала руководителем в информационных и коммерческих онлайн-проектах в сферах дизайна и строительства, предпринимателем, редактором журнала, аналитиком, маркетологом, преподавателем.

Когда в 2013 году Анна готовилась стать мамой, ее приоритеты и ценности сместились в сторону проблем общества и, в частности, молодых родителей и их детей. В 2015 году Анна стала социальным предпринимателем, понимая, что предпринимательский образ мысли может помочь не только создавать самодостаточные проекты, но и помочь в решении проблем общества.

Simple, profound truths are the realm of this Buddhist nun. Her message? The gift of happiness truly lies within our own hearts and minds. Gen Kelsang Nyema, exuding a peacefulness that immediately connects with the audience, starts by asking three questions: Are you having a good day? Why? Tomorrow, would you rather have a good day or a bad day? She teaches that we cannot put our happiness at the whim of other people and of circumstances. If we want to be happy, we have to «stop outsourcing our happiness to other people» and cultivate a source of inner peace. What happens next is quite astounding. The whole crowd of 350 people proceeds to meditate with Nyema. Theres a little squirming at first, but as she leads the audience through a calm citation of how to rest the mind, audience members feel a collective relaxation flow into the room and through the people. Fascinating! Refreshing.

This talk was part of TEDxGreenville UNZIPPED, held April 11, 2014, at the Kroc Center in Greenville, South Carolina. For more information about Gen Nyema and her co-presenters, please visit tedxgreenville.com/2014presenters

Что вы чувствуете, глядя на просторную комнату, где из вещей только место для сна, столик, шкаф для одежды и икебана в специально отведённом месте?

Вероятнее всего, спокойствие. Так традиционно жили японцы. Так может жить каждый из нас: минимализм – это не только стиль в дизайне интерьера.

Минимализм это культура и стиль жизни.

Татьяна Апретова – «минималист» с десятилетним стажем – расскажет о разумном потреблении и концепции «жизни без лишнего».

Nearly 80% of college students report that procrastination is a significant issue for them. Procrastination is not a matter of mere “laziness” and the solution is not simply “better time management”. Could it be that procrastination is actually a highly effective strategy for self-protection and that’s why we continue to do it? In this talk, Nic unravels the surprising and perplexing motivational dynamics underlying our procrastination that lead so often to disengagement and burnout. Illustrated with examples drawn from two decades of coaching students, he introduces self-worth theory of motivation, a powerful research-based conceptual framework for understanding and overcoming procrastination, avoidance, and over-commitment. Dominic (Nic) Voge is Senior Associate Director of Princeton University’s McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning, and author of “Life Beyond Grades” (Cambridge University Press). His work focuses on helping students truly thrive and achieve a sense of well-being not only academically, but in all realms of their lives. Nic is a founding member of The Resilience Consortium, the Princeton Perspective Project, and Principedia, initiatives designed to deepen engagement and learning among students. He maintains private consulting and coaching practices. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Что скрывать — все мы стараемся казаться окружающим красивее и лучше, чем мы есть на самом деле. Но, оказывается, иногда отказ от этого желания, повышает наши шансы на счастье.
В выступлении на TEDxSadovoeRing Анастасия Шмеркина рассказывает свою собственную, личную историю о том, что происходит, когда перестаешь подгонять себя под общепринятые нормы и к каким важным изменениям в жизни это может привести.

Сценарист и режиссёр Анастасия Шмеркина, считает, что правильные ракурсы и грим помогают только на съемках, а в реальной жизни способность позволить себе быть неидеальным, открывает гораздо больше дверей, чем страх и жаление спрятать свои внешние недостатки.

Мечта или сон? Английское dream в русской интерпретации имеет сразу два толкования. Сон — важная составляющая жизни каждого из нас, а потому требует такого же пристального изучения, как и повседневные явления в период бодрствования. О взаимосвязях этих двух периодов жизни человека, а также о том, как сны могут стать явью.
