TED (short for Technology, Entertainment, Design) is extraordinary and eclectic series of free conferences, packed with inspiring speakers and some of the most brilliant and articulate minds of our generation.
The current Sunday Publishing favourites, well worth checking out, are:
1. Ken Robinson on education – a brilliant analysis of how Western education systems fail to nurture creativity
2. Rory Sutherland on advertising – the most incisive and wittiest ad man in the UK
3. Tipping Point author Malcolm Gladwell on choice and happiness – as illustrated by spaghetti sauce
4. Hans Rosling on how unlocking data challenges our assumptions on the developing world
5. And finally, because he’s my old boss and a genius presenter, Julian Treasure on the effect of sound on our lives
