• Self-Compassion in Uncertain Times | Randall Birnberg | TEDxRWTHAachen

    Randall talks about how self compassion and positive thinking can help us deal with our past. He shares the steps to self compassion and the habits that can make you more compassionate.

    For over 30 years, Randall Birnberg, an American educator and psychologist, has been helping to develop the human potential that lies within each individual. Whether it was the Native Americans "on the rez" of New Mexico or Italian street children in Rome, he always provided the crucial psychological tools to work on individual consciousness and self-compassion.

    Twenty four years ago, he brought his knowledge and experience to Europe. In university lectures, seminars and coaching, he "taught" doctoral students, teachers, employees of international companies … as well as private individuals throughout Europe. As a happiness researcher at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Randall works within the relatively new science of happiness, also known as "Positive Psychology".

    Positive Psychology deals with human emotions, strengths, relationships, the meaning of life and our achievements. Ultimately, through our well-being & happiness, we become more resilient and more able to withstand uncertain times as we our experiencing today. Randall's current passion is to help Ukrainian refugees living in Germany to integrate into the German culture i.e., by teaching self-compassion techniques, resilience and love-kindness meditations.

    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

  • Is it normal to talk to yourself?

    Dig into the psychological benefits of positive self-talk, and find out when it can become problematic.

    --

    Being caught talking to yourself can feel embarrassing, and some people even stigmatize this behavior as a sign of mental instability. But decades of research show that talking to yourself is completely normal; most if not all of us engage in some form of self-talk every day. So why do we talk to ourselves? And does what we say matter? Dig into the psychological benefits of positive self-talk.

  • The 4 phases of retirement | Dr. Riley Moynes | TEDxSurrey

    Imagine squeezing all the juice out of retirement! When interviewed on his research, Dr. Riley Moynes commented, “I wish I knew then what I know now about the psychological challenges that accompany retirement. It would have made things much clearer and easier.”

    By interviewing hundreds of retirees, he has discovered a framework that can help make more sense of this challenging chapter of our lives…one that, for many, could last for 30 years or more.
    If you’re retired, this talk will make things much clearer for you. If you’re not, you’ll have a better idea of what to expect when that time comes. Riley has enjoyed a distinguished career spanning four decades in both public and private sectors.

    In public education, he served as a teacher, Department Head, a Superintendent and a Director of Education. He also authored several textbooks including a History of Russia, and a World Religions text.

    In the private sector, he was a Founding Partner of a national wealth management firm, author of a book entitled The Money Coach which enjoyed sales of over 200,000 copies in six editions, and co-author of several editions of Top Funds.

    Since stepping back from day-to-day involvement in financial services, Riley researches and writes reader-friendly publications on topics of general interest, and presents Workshops across the country based on those publications.

    One of his most recent books, The Four Phases of Retirement, became a Canadian best-seller within 12 months of publication, and is the basis of his TEDx Talk.

    In the book, he explains how he waltzed through Phase One of retirement, struggled in Phase Two, tried a dozen ventures in Phase Three and now in Phase Four, assists others as they navigate their way through the psychological changes and challenges almost everyone faces in retirement. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
