In this TED Talk, Esther Perel dives into the contrast between love and desire.

Also, she says that sex is a place we go, a space we enter and not something we do.

This is such an inspiring talk. What you should keep in mind is that “Empathy is the antidote to shame. The two most powerful words when we’re in struggle: me too.”. It’s a very beautiful and motivating talk and Erica Layne even says that it will make you want to dare greatly.

This talk will not only help you understand introverts better but you will learn to appreciate more all those little perks that both introverts and extroverts have to offer. This talk will even help you understand yourself better, you will become more empathetic and more compassionate towards other people and it will also motivate you to pursue your goals no matter what.

Do Schools Kill Creativity? – Sir Ken Robinson

In this little video, Sir Ken Robinson talks about how kids pick up in school the fear of being wrong and this happens because our society stigmatizes mistakes. If you’re a young mom and you want to help your kids retain their creativity, then you must watch this TED Talk since it’s a very good source of inspiration. Just like ken Robinson says, there needs to be an education system that nurtures creativity rather than undermine it.

On Being Wrong – Kathryn Schulz

After you listen to Sir Ken Robinson’s Talk, listen to this one because if in the previous talk you understand how kids develop the fear of being wrong, this one will help you realize how we as adults safeguard ourselves against being wrong and also, how it feels to think that we are right even when this is not true.
