How to cope with anxiety | Olivia Remes | TEDxUHasselt


Anxiety is one of most prevalent mental health disorders, with 1 out of 14 people around the world being likely affected. Leading up to conditions such as depression, increased risk for suicide, disability and requirement of high health services, very few people who often need treatment actually receive it. In her talk “How to cope with anxiety”, Olivia Remes of the University of Cambridge will share her vision on anxiety and will unravel ways to treat and manage this health disorder. Arguing that treatments such as psychotherapy and medication exist and often result in poor outcome and high rates of relapses, she will emphasise the importance of harnessing strength in ourselves as we modify our problem-coping mechanisms. Olivia will stress that by allowing ourselves to believe that what happens in life is comprehensive, meaningful, and manageable, one can significantly improve their risk of developing anxiety disorders.

Красиво жить можно или как превратить панельный дом во дворец | Михаил Швыганов | TEDxNovosibirsk


Как вы думаете, можно ли обычную панельную 10-ти этажку превратить в «Дом образцового содержания», в котором стены подъездов в итальянской плитке, керамогранитные полы, перила из нержавейки, бесшумные болгарские лифты, светодиодные светильники с оптико-акустическими датчиками, торцы дома утеплены и отделаны особо стойкой декоративной цветной штукатуркой, у подъездов пандусы, тротуары из брусчатки и многое другое?! Звучит как описание места, где живут олигархи, не правда ли?

А между тем, представьте себе, живут там обычные горожане, не потратившие ни одной лишней копейки сверх положенных платежей за обслуживание жилья!

И все это — благодаря нашему спикеру.

Travel More


We live in a world of consumption. Before you buy your next item for your «man cave» or «she shed,» think again. Adventure and exploration is the best way to learn and expand your horizons. The idea here is simple and enlightening, that one should have a passport full of stamps rather than a house full of stuff. Travel more. Buy less. #GO

Look deeper -- write -- the wonders of writing | Nicoletta Demetriou | TEDxUniversityofNicosia


This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Nicoletta Demetriou beautifully describes the wonders of writing. In this TEDxUniversityofNicosia talk Nicoletta, an ethnomusicologist and tutor in creative writing, explains exactly how to go about writing in our everyday lives.

Nicoletta Demetriou studied music in Thessaloniki, Vienna, and London. Her PhD (School of Oriental and African Studies [SOAS], University of London, 2008) was in the field of ethnomusicology. Her research focuses on Cypriot traditional music, and particularly on how issues pertaining to ideology, politics, and identity influence the way traditional music is discussed and performed. She has also studied creative writing, specializing in life (auto/biographical) writing. Her current research is an attempt to bring ethnomusicology and life writing together, focusing on the lives of traditional music performers. Since 2012 Nicoletta has been a research fellow in ethnomusicology and life writing at Wolfson College, University of Oxford, and also a tutor in narrative non-fiction on Oxford’s Master of Studies in Creative Writing.

Over the last fifty or so years, computer scientists have learned a lot of good strategies for managing time effectively — and they have a lot of experience with what can go wrong. Brian Christian shares how we can use some of these insights to help make the most of our own lives.

Женщина среднего возраста -- кризис или расцвет?


Средний возраст нередко сопровождается внутренним кризисом и депрессией. Причин много: от проблемы старения до ощущения, что жизнь прожита зря. Говорить о женщинах особенно трудно: они более уязвимы во всех отношениях. И не каждая находит в себе силы побороть неуверенность и страхи, справиться с комплексами, найти себя, вернее даже — путь к себе.

Гостья Владимира Молчанова — воплощения того, что средний возраст может быть расцветом. Ее личный опыт подтверждает, что остаться на коне можно даже после того, как тебя не выбрали президентом. В студии программы «Полуночники» — Ирина Хакамада.
