Why TED talks don't change your life much: Neale Martin at TEDxPeachtree

- In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
There are ten times more nerual connections from emotional brain to the rational brain than vice versa. The emotional brain is like an elephant, it goes where it is trained to and unless we re-train it, we won't be able to ride it.
Watch Tony Robbin's ted talk.
Wow, Bill Burr looks very young in this Ted talk.
Why do people keep calling it reptilian brain if we don't havce reptiles in our linage?
Because that part of the brain contains the same parts as reptile brains: the brainstem and cerebellum. The limbic brain didn't emerge until the first mammals... which did evolve from reptiles- the synapsids. And certain mammals evolved into humans so we do have reptiles in our lineage.
Ted talks helped me a lot
I was in depression for months if not years
Then I saw some really amazing talk Ted talks which gave me courage and will to change my life
I made lot of efforts after that but
Ted talks was instrumental in changing my life
19:43 "It's what we do that matters, not what we know"
What brain is talking? His amygdala one or his conscious one?
i started barefoot running cuz of a ted talk tho
I dont believe in evolution
I believe in creation
Everytime I try to eliminate a bad habit a new one comes up and it gets obsessive. I wanted to lose weight, I got anorexic, I wanted to study more - I couldn't stop to study and had no social life. I think this guy is right, change can be achieved by habits. It's the easiest way (and probably the only one). But don't let habits controll your life. You have a concious brain! Use it! Try to find balance and change your routines frequently. Try to brush your teeth with your non dominant hand. Try out new things as often as you can. Stay active.
Quackery lecture
Yes, interesting to see the audience use of cell phones in cars, at the start. Try having that nonchalant attitude on a motorcycle - you won't last long.... and also, how many motorcyclists killed by people on cell phones in cars??
The way he expresses himself and pronounces reminds me of Donald Trump
He doesn't have the background/education to give science so he prattles pseudo-science. I'm bored. Can't be bothered to even get upset with all the in accuracies so I'm just giving a thumb down and leaving at this point.
06:00 Let's not naively lump all the dinosaurs together.
AMNH: How Dinosaur Brains Led to Modern Birds (2016)
_In non-avian dinosaurs that are thought to mark the transition from dinosaur to bird, such as Archaeopteryx, the cerebrum is huge compared to the rest of the brain, a trend we see continued in modern birds whose brains are 40 to 60 percent cerebrum, compared to about 25 percent in tyrannosaurs._
Public speakers should be electrocuted every time they say “Right?”
The video description desperately needs to include the profile of speaker. I don’t want to be hearing somebody with unknown qualification. The current text about TED organization is secondary and can be kept only after his profile.
How can such a fascinating machine like the human brain come about through such a random, uncontrolled and nondiscriminatory process when every other impressive machine required an equally impressive mind to design and build it?
Evolution is a narcissist’s explanation for the lack of accountability they seek to have. Can we just for a second agree that if a lead pencil required an intelligent designer that perhaps a vastly more complex thing like the human brain probably needed a designer as well?
I wish for once someone would collate intelligence with design. Is not artificial intelligence designed? Than why not organic intelligence?
Great talk until he tried to tell me my brain happened by accident. Explain the process and probability of a house appearing in the middle of no where, out of no where. Or how a stick evolved into the walls of a mansion. I’m waiting 🤓
B
i dont watch ted with the intention to change my lo life, only watch for informative, let loose purposes.
More people would be drawn to this talk if it was positively titled, "How to put TED talks into action" or "How YOU can make TED talks change your life". I skipped passed the current title for several weeks. Who wants to be told why all this time we spend listening is not going to change our lives?! It DOES change your life, but only IF you consciously decide to put it into action, sometimes having to fight our old subconscious habits. Thank you for the talk. It was interesting and worth the listen. :0)
Why TED talks don't change your life much. Because we have wine, beer and whiskey.
He is a baldy version of Tom Cruise XD
Great Talk btw...
Very excellent speech, thumb for it..., but I take step back about what they calling "evolution" and there is no scientist prove for it ...
He has to understand this....when one is specializing on habits he or she should know that habitual behaviours don't happen subconsciously but automatically. Atomatic is conscious habitual behaviour. If it wasnt so then driver would be unaware of what he's doing I.e. if they r asked what they r doing their brain would have to process their action. Even if the correct answer follows right away still the process of analizing happens...when it's subconscious behavior. So if a driver is driving subconsciously then consciously he thinks he is doing something else...for ex. Jogging.. messing up with subcoucious in Psychology is now beyond..it's sad cz sub/unconscious is indeed extremely important.
This was really interesting, thanks.
They should change the title of this talk because it's far more interesting than the title would suggest.
He's halfway there. Inspiration isn't enough- but it is required. Necessary but not sufficient. What makes us human is a huge amount of grey matter ontop of our lizard brain. Point being just doing what's unconscious as he's espousing can be called another term: sleepwalking.
thıs talk changed my lıfe
Bitconeeeeeeeeeeeeeeect!
Preach the truth.
Slow, lazy, and completly unreliable...
Yep that about me :D
RU-clip's recommendation algorithm is taking me on the change my life train. It's beautiful here.
A brain explaining the (brains)))😊
well, this is meta
Best Tedx Talk so far!
Lol
Great quote from this TedTalk: " *It's what we do that matters, not what we know* "
Buddha teaching: shut your mind off in order to light your awareness.
Almost all TED talks have Buddha concepts; you can translate this video that buddhism needs to be applied and not just be taught!
Stay 'til end. Write it down. Q
I see I've good understanding of my "self"

so true i think about doing homework but i won't do it
Discipline is not punishment. It is when the two minds work together. Golden words.
Good talk. I guess being at the top tier of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, when you have your balanced, stable life, hearing neat ideas can become just a pastime. You change when you need to change.
this video changed my life
Very good talk, Neale. Insightful.
someone forgot to convert the video format.
Great explanation of what drives and changes behavior (loved the spring analogy). However, as a hypnotherapist and practitioner of other modalities to change human behavior quickly and permanently (for 22 years), I disagree that discipline is the only way to change behavior (as your beginning slide declares). I have used these modalities on myself and thousands of my clients. Discipline is still a conscious-level reasoning process, which is inefficient at making changes quickly, easily and permanently. You can't use the conscious mind to change the conscious mind (at least, not quickly, easily and permanently); as Einstein said, "you cannot solve a problem with the level of the mind that created it." Using techniques such as hypnosis get at the subconscious to introduce in the new thoughts/emotions and make it more likely to stick--without the need for "discipline."
He's gone META
(Possibly) change happens in very minute increments; needing the constant pressure of conscious thought on an issue...and/or it can happen quickly through fear.....
I love this inspirational talk
Very good lectures ... Fun like during watching MTV about 1999 year ...
I've heard Jordan Peterson saying how habits can be seen as mundane, everyday and therefore trivial, which can't be further from the truth as habits dictate a lot in your life. When I saw the title of this talk, I had the hunch that it was going to be about this, and I was pleased at how the same message was expressed by a neuroscientist. I do believe that this is very good stuff, at a point in my life where I really need it.
Repeat it until it feels normal at 18
how i wish the "experts" can come up more strategies to trick the mind.. be it weight loss, dealing with anxiety and depression, productivity... and not just you know something like "believe in your power, you have the power" lmao!
Inception
Later on this man made a talk on bitconnect.
This was by far the best I have heard on good bad habits & conscious & unconscious, thanks.
This is Super Clear! Thank you !
Thank you...
its called the reptilian part of the brain and not the dinosaur brain. granted he is trying to simplify but it also has nothing to do with reptilians, it's just old.
If anything history has more emotional content than math, but I guess in math its easy to get excited or frustrated with the problems. But the content of math itself vs history is much less emotional imo than history.
Neale, you look a lot like Tom Cruise minus hair and the mole on his cheek.
who give you the right to take property my and distribute to lazy people ?
All hail capitalism.
ну длин! как теперь можно думать о чем-то кроме того, как сильно ты хочешь печеньку?!))
Thabkbyou so muvh, I just watch the TED Talk about the doctor that doesn't tell you anything or what doctors don't tell you and that's a great point it's not about what you know it's about what you do
So, action speaks louder than words
So watch Ted talks and make an habit of watching Ted by your unconscious mind.
alright. let’s see if i can follow his advice
This talk is so accurate it's not even funny...
ironicly, this Ted talk will change my life much.
He is one of the GREATEST
He lost my trust, when he said "alarm clocks are a great cue to wake up" 😂
These ted talks are amazing,
this video teaches you that behavior only changes through discipline.
When you do it, focus on the results, and remember to get that result you must do that again.
not very simple
This rolling shutter .___.
Pathetic speech. Useless. All ted talks are intellectual masterbation. Feels good but it does nothing.
Gery de Brute
Maybe because u dont even english boy ^^
MrNonGod
"Intellectual masterbation"😂😂
That one will go down for the ages
MrNonGod this one is the worst lol i had no idea what he been talk all this time
Awesome speaker
I'm glad somebody addressed this.
I m Much Pleased With You
Is this a quote from Yoda (Star Wars)?
W hy Is This Top Comment ?
this guy HAS to be related to Bill Burr because he looks and acts just like him IMO hilarious
I'm a self-perpetuating slinky in a sea of bigger, self-perpetuating slinkies! :D
I feel like the more I know about the scientific evidences about any given subject, the better I understand my mind and emotions. Therefore, the more precise I become in overcoming my own obstacles. Knowing and understanding the facts alongside my personal experiences keeps me more grounded and disciplined rather than chasing after my own tail and wearing myself off into exhaustion. Great talk!
Because only God would be able to change your life (a lot). Jesus can do that, TED talks are useful but they can't make you change spiritually from doing bad in mind and action to doing good to others.
"Why TED talks don't change your life much"
THIS is the ONLY TURD or TURDx talk that I have ever thumbed up.
This guy gets it.
lmao thumbs up for your name haha
discipline turns talent into ability
Great speech, thank you Neale Martin! :)
Isn't mobile phone use whilst driving not illegal in USA?
the probable answer is no
He looks like a mix between tom cruise and trump
Very nice talk. Yet there is one that changed mine :D
This title is crap !! If TED do not change our life much then why he is giving speech in TED. Acquired knowledge has deep impact in our life.
Looks like a bald Tom Cruise... sounds like him, too.
*said in a TED talk*
2 Reasons: 1.) because your life is like the Titanic, difficult to change course; and 2.) because TED talks are by and large vapid and clueless.
I decided when I was in Junior high that I would be a very careful driver--and I am. I tend toe hypervigilant, which is exhausting. And driving while exhausted is unsafe. Catch-22!
Jillian Smith hahaha!
hitman in real life!
If he's right, there is no point listening to any TED talk, including this one. If he's wrong, this is a bad talk. Either way, this is a pointless talk. Good bye.
16:17 After all the brain theory and behavioral concepts about habit formation... point where gives practical step of how "discipline" is used to form a new habit.
