Gender Violence and "women's issues"-- a male take on things. Worth the watch. I appreciate the Ally work being done.

I found the TED talk on Shame amazing.

Its a subject I have been in deep denial about.

Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions -- motion, speech, self-awareness -- shut down one by one. An astonishing story.
Brain researcher Jill Bolte Taylor studied her own stroke as it happened -- and has become a powerful voice for brain recovery.

I saw a great one on the usefulness of regret.

And others. It's a wonderful series.

Love Ted talks. Two good ones are 'How to Spot a Liar' and 'The Price of Shame' with Monica Lewinsky. It was very moving and she's a lot more intelligent than I gave her credit for.
