...made an impact on me one way or another and I hope that perhaps one (or a few) of you might find some "take-aways" too.
The first 4 are from TED.com presentations and therefore each of them is ~20 mins. The last one is just 5:33 mins.
I've given the TED url as well as the YouTube one because sometimes the TED playback is a bit glitchy but the full transcript and author bio is available there - plus many more amazing talks
Brene Brown #1 - The Power of Vulnerability
http://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_on_vulnerability.html?quote=868
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4Qm9cGRub0
Brené Brown studies human connection -- our ability to empathize, belong, love. In a poignant, funny talk, she shares a deep insight from her research, one that sent her on a personal quest to know herself as well as to understand humanity. A talk to share.
Brene Brown #2 - Listening to shame
http://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_listening_to_shame.html
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU
Shame is an unspoken epidemic, the secret behind many forms of broken behavior. Brené Brown, whose earlier talk on vulnerability became a viral hit, explores what can happen when people confront their shame head-on. Her own humor, humanity and vulnerability shine through every word.
Lissa Rankin - The Shocking Truth About Your Health
Because this was at a TED offshoot I can't seem to find it via the main site.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tu9nJmr4Xs
Lissa Rankin MD is an OB/GYN physician, author, keynote speaker, consultant to health care visionaries, professional artist, and founder of the women's health and wellness community http://www.OwningPink.com. Discouraged by the broken, patriarchal health care system, she left her medical practice in 2007 only to realize that you can quit your job, but you can't quit your calling. This epiphany launched her on a journey of discovery that led her to become a leader in the field of mind/body medicine, which she blogs about at OwningPink.com and is writing about in her third book Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof You Can Heal Yourself (Hay House, 2013).
Jill Bolte Taylor - My Stroke of Insight
http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU
Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
"A Good Day" With Brother David Steindl-Rast (5:33)

I never get tired of watching this or sometimes shutting my eyes and just listening.
Enjoy!
