Stress Resets, the Ultimate Mental Health Hack | Jenny Taitz | TED

Stress is less about what you're facing and more about believing you can cope. This isn't positivity. This is regulating your nervous system, framing stress as an opportunity for growth and accepting sensations, even knots in your stomach, lowers cortisol and allows you to persevere.

The Art and Science of Wine Tasting | Qian Janice Wang | TED

There are actually two ways of thinking about complexity when it comes to wine or food. There's, first, chemical complexity, right? That's the stuff that's in the glass. What are the chemical molecules in the wine? And then there's a concept called psychological complexity, where complexity is not really in the wine, but it's in the mind of the drinker.

Motion, from Galileo to Dark Mysteries. Lecture 3 in the Origins Podcast Series on Physics

The fact that it took Galileo to redefine our thinking about motion and intelligent people from Aristotle and onward had thought about how things moved in the world and gotten it totally wrong suggests that motion is not so simple.

THE PEOPLE DO NOT YEARN FOR AUTOMATION

Software brain is powerful stuff. It's a way of thinking that basically created our modern world. But software thinking has also been turbocharged by AI in a way that I think helps explain the enormous gap between how excited the tech industry is about the technology and how regular people are growing to dislike it more and more over time.

A Month of the BEST Lessons from Marcus Aurelius

You always have the power to have no opinion. Things are not asking to be judged by you. Don't turn this into something. The fewer opinions you have, the fewer judgments you make, the more you're able to just leave things as they are, the happier you will be, the more productive you will be, the more focused you will be, and the easier you will be to get along with.

Is Luck Random — or Can You Cultivate It? | Christian Busch | TED

Zemblanity is when something unlucky, unwanted or undesired happens by design because it's already built in. It seems unexpected and like bad luck, but in hindsight it was to be expected and avoidable.

Humorist Annabelle Gurwitch faces stage 4 cancer, finds ‘unexpected joys’

I felt like it was a story I could understand. And it was a way I could feel kind towards myself. The language of battling and fighting made me also feel at war with my own body, which I don't find helpful.

To understand consciousness, Michael Pollan looked at plants, AI and himself

Consciousness is kind of how we do sentience. For animals like us, we need a much more elaborate sentience. We need the ability, say, to imagine what's going on so that we can have counterfactuals.

To understand consciousness, Michael Pollan looked at plants, AI and himself

Sensience is kind of the base default case of having a certain awareness of your environment and a sense of the changes taking place in your environment and whether they're good for you or bad for you and then the ability to move toward the positive and away from the negative. Consciousness is kind of how we do sensience.

How to Reset Your Life (According to the Stoics)

It's not about now. It's not about what's happening now. It's not about what it's taking out of you now. It's about what it's giving you. Right? Before it happened, you were scared. Before it happened, you were sheltered. Before it happened, you were soft. Before it happened, you were dependent. You were all these things and more. But after, right, after the breakup, after the bankruptcy, after the pandemic, after those rough couple years, after things didn't go your way, well, now you're something different. Now you're something new. You are more. You are stronger. You are braver.
