Are you curious about ideas that can change you or the world?  Join us for a one-hour meeting to view a Ted Talk and then talk about it!  
TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks/videos (18 minutes or less) from expert speakers on science, business, technology, personal development, creativity, and much more.

The Benefits of Not Being a Jerk to Yourself 

After more than two decades as an anchor for ABC News, an on-air panic attack sent Dan Harris's life in a new direction: he became a dedicated meditator and, to some, even a guru. But then an anonymous survey of his family, friends and colleagues turned up some brutal feedback -- he was still kind of a jerk. In a wise, funny talk, he shares his years-long quest to improve his relationships with everyone (starting with himself) and explains the science behind loving-kindness meditation, and how it can boost your resiliency, quiet your inner critic and simply make you more pleasant to be around.
