👁The price of shame
🧠Monica Lewinsky
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣How do creative people come up with great ideas? Organizational psychologist Adam Grant studies "originals": thinkers who dream up new ideas and take action to put them into the world. In this talk, learn three unexpected habits of originals -- including embracing failure. "The greatest originals are the ones who fail the most, because they're the ones who try the most," Grant says. "You need a lot of bad ideas in order to get a few good ones."

👁How to stay calm when you know you'll be stressed
🧠Daniel Levitin
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣You're not at your best when you're stressed. In fact, your brain has evolved over millennia to release cortisol in stressful situations, inhibiting rational, logical thinking but potentially helping you survive, say, being attacked by a lion. Neuroscientist Daniel Levitin thinks there's a way to avoid making critical mistakes in stressful situations, when your thinking becomes clouded -- the pre-mortem. "We all are going to fail now and then," he says. "The idea is to think ahead to what those failures might be."

👁Can you guess what's wrong with these paintings?
🧠Noah Charney
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

Noah Charney explains the painstaking process of restoring priceless artifacts. [Directed by Michael Kalopaidis, Zedem Media, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Manolis Manoli].

👁 A brief history of Spanish
🧠Ilan Stavans
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Beginning in the third century BCE, the Romans conquered the Iberian peninsula. This period gave rise to several regional languages in the area that's now Spain, including Castilian, Catalan, and Galician. One of these would become Spanish— but not for another 1,500 years. Those years tell the origin story of what's become a global modern language. Ilan Stavans traces the evolution of Spanish.

🧠Charles Wallace and Sajan Saini
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👁The language of lying
🧠Noah Zandan
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣We hear anywhere from 10 to 200 lies a day. And although we've spent much of our history coming up with ways to detect these lies by tracking physiological changes in their tellers, these methods have proved unreliable. Is there a more direct approach? Noah Zandan uses some famous examples of lying to illustrate how we might use communications science to analyze the lies themselves.
