These days, we're surrounded by photo editing programs. Have you ever wondered what something or someone actually looks like under all the manipulation? I'm Elise Hugh, and you might know me as the host of TED Talks Daily. This October, I am giving a TED Talk in Atlanta about finding true beauty in a sea of artificial images.
I'm so excited to share the stage with all the amazing speakers of the TED Next conference, and I hope you'll come and experience it with me. Visit go.ted.com slash TED Next to get your pass today.
Let's be real here. A lot of us are trying to be better people and we are a little stuck. We don't know how to be better. We don't know how to improve. Hi, I'm Chris Duffy and I am the host of Ted's new podcast, How to Be a Better Human. Every week, I'm going to be in conversation with guests and past speakers and smart people from all over the world who are going to offer actionable insights on how to be a little less terrible as partners, listeners, allies, activists, and all the other ways that we're human.
Maybe you're trying to get it together for yourself. - It's a great question to really put yourself in the driver's seat to say, is this helping or harming me in my quest to get through this? - Or for society. - Connection happens by sharing an experience or by connecting verbally through conversation. And to connect through conversation, you have to be able to share your hopes, your dreams, your emotions. You have to be open. You have to get the other person to be open. - Or perhaps even the world.
I think it's really about just modeling your values in your day-to-day actions. You don't have to be an advocate to change the way a person sees the world or somebody else. Most of us want to be better, but we're just not sure where to begin. Well, let's start right here. Because it's not just about being a good person. It's about learning how to be a better human. Coming January 11th, wherever you listen to podcasts.
Support for the show comes from Brooks Running. I'm so excited because I have been a runner, gosh, my entire adult life. And for as long as I can remember, I have run with Brooks Running shoes. Now I'm running with a pair of Ghost 16s from Brooks.
incredibly lightweight shoes that have really soft cushioning. It feels just right when I'm hitting my running trail that's just out behind my house. You now can take your daily run in the Better Than Ever Go 16. You can visit brookscrunning.com to learn more. PR.
