BE BRIGHT: "Overcome your fear of making a mistake. Take a bold stance, an active role in big life situations. Calculate the risk, and take control!" In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Behavioral economics is teaching us to understand ourselves better so we could asses situation and act accordingly. Sometimes to be a bold fish if gain is higher (in a new pond), but to be a shy fish if the risk is to high (that shiny thing could be a predator, but could be an endless supply of food). Assessing the situation with logic, understanding our nature (evolutionary economics) and not doing things with your gut (it is usually wrong). Inspirational speeches are nice, so is this one, but it tells us very little on how to apply behavioral economics in our lives.

I just found about you and I am hooked! Thanks:) I like to think I am a risk taker however there is a lot of things I need to work on. I will quit my very well paid job this week to pursuit my dream and this just help me to not feel guilty about it.

This was great! I needed to hear this. I needed the nudge. I stopped going to school due to buying a house, having a family, and having my wife return to school to get her PhD in Pharmacy. And along the way I realized, my current situation though not terrible by any means was not what I am good at. I thrive in psychology. They study of behavioral economics, they study of behavior in general. This comes easy to me, and I love it. Needless to say i have decided I need to go back to school and earn at least a masters if not a PhD. I don't want live my life thinking what could of been. That scares me more than anything.

God her voice is annoying and the way she laugh for no reason, terrible speaker.
-
The first experiment she stated is extremely biased, now put the fish in a new environment with actual predators and watch the bold become lunch.

these people promote financial turmoil..otherwise this is good advice
-
What a waste of my time. Nothing I havent heard before: take risks blah blah.. Basic shit, far from groundbreaking. Been hearing that lesson all my life..yawns.
-
So far this is literally a redundant talk. What she is saying is just a statistical analysis. It does not have anything do with economy.
-
Has Kelly Peters wrote anything recently? This is a pretty good talk on behavioral economics.
