Ted Talks are inspirational magic captured in one video. In this post, you’ll find 5 Ted Talks that’ll make you believe anything is possible!
If you don’t know what Ted Talks are, they’re “a showcase for speakers presenting great, well-formed ideas in under 18 minutes.”
Which is amazing because you can learn life-changing lessons in a short period of time.
When it comes to educational, inspirational and motivational videos, Ted Talks are king. No doubt.
There are Ted Talks about virtually any topic: about the economy, about habits, about personalities, about politics.
And there are Ted Talks that make you cry, some others that make you laugh.
I love binge-watching Ted Talks and absorbing all the knowledge these amazing people want to teach others.
So, I’ve come up with this list of the most inspiring Ted Talks that’ll make you believe anything is possible:
- being happy no matter your life circumstances,
- go from broke to millionaire in 3 years,
- learn languages and break world records, 15 minutes at a time,
- recover from a bad injury and then go to break world records ascending the tallest mountains of the planet,
- and that just knowing that you can learn and improve, makes all the difference.
It was hard to make this list because I had to let a ton of great Talks out, but I’m sure these ones are my absolute favorites.
Enjoy!

A great introduction to this influential field.”
