what I got out of this Ted Talk is that people who go to Yale think that they have all the answers to life's questions. The speaker thinks that the other 150,000 authors of self-help books have it wrong and he has the magic answers in 5 minutes. This video starts with the premise that you know who you are, what you are doing in life, who you are doing it for, and how it changes other people. This is a great pep talk for those who already know their purpose. Congrats! You're a cheerleader! For those of us working to feed ourselves, just trying to get the bills paid, who aren't privileged enough to have days to sit around and think about our dreams, this was utterly useless.
