That is definitely my favorite 2015 Listicle (list article). A lot of the TED Talks are positively inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

Big TED fan here. When I had my back problems and basically stopped sleeping for a year, I watched endless TED Talks to take my mind off the pain. Hundreds and hundreds of them. I even watched topics I had no interest in, such as child-rearing and the future of hemp clothing. They were all worthwhile, and most were truly inspiring.
 
Unfortunately, Bob's link didn't get me anywhere. Never loaded. Maybe the server's overloaded.
 
So if you can't get to that one right away, you might enjoy this one for the time being.

That Sting talk is one of the 13, the first one, in fact. That link worked for me again, so don't know what happened to you.

Is it just me or does it seem in the Sting vid that he has been transformed into a version of Harry Chapin?
