__ TED Talks __
TED is a nonpartisan nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks. TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 110 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. Here are links to some TED Talks that LDR faculty often suggest to watch:

Leaving a high-flying job in consulting, Angela Lee Duckworth took a job teaching math to seventh graders in a New York public school. She quickly realized that IQ wasn't the only thing separating the successful students from those who struggled. Here, she explains her theory of "grit" as a predictor of success. (time: 6:12, taped April 2013)

Peer pressure isn't always bad. Our ability to follow social cues helps us fit in, succeed and survive. When everyone's doing something, we assume there's a good reason, and we follow along. But when it comes to investing, sometimes that can cost us. (time: 2:31)
