• 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.

    --

    Watching a kitten fumbling around, it might feel as if you’ve never encountered anything so devastatingly adorable in your mortal life. You may want to pet its soft fur and kiss its tiny head.

Joshua Paul Dale explores the urge known as cute aggression.

    Lesson by Joshua Paul Dale, directed by Oksana Kurmaz.

  • Embracing a life of mediocrity | Crispin Thurlow | TEDxBasel

    It’s hard to accept life in the middle when the relentless language of superiority and comparison tells us we should always be the best or just better. Might the answer lie partly in rethinking mediocrity and perhaps even learning to embrace it?

    Crispin grew up in South Africa and England where he trained as a psychologist and then an actor. Long story short, he is now Professor of Language and Communication at the University of Bern.

    He previously held professorships at the University of Washington in the USA and completed his PhD at Cardiff University in Wales. As a sociolinguist, Crispin’s core research interest lies in the way people make sense of social difference and inequality in their everyday communication. He is currently finishing off a new book titled The Language of Elitism.
