TED.com recently released their list of the 20 most-watched TED talks to date, and while they have quite a few of the ones listed that can serve to improve your life, there are several out there that are on the list at deserve some mention.
So, we've decided to unveil what we believe to be the top 20 TED talks that can improve your life. And while there is some crossover on both lists, we feel that there are some that just deserve a little bit more of your attention. Enjoy!
(Please note: some of these talks are NSFW.)
(Editor's Note: this talk is featured on TED.com's "Best of the Web" section, but is from his Web 2.0 appearance.)
Bonus talk: Did you know that I've done a TED talk myself? While mine definitely doesn't rank among those listed in this post, I thought I'd give you a chance to check it out as well. (After all, it does have to do with lifehacks.)
