About TEDx, x = independently organized event
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)

This is one of my favorite Ted talks I've ever seen. I didn't want him to stop talking.
Wonderful message conveyed to all our present so called modern society...flying high in their arrogance of materialism at the cost of their own true self...
Trevor, the speech is very clear and practical oriented. you get double of your time when you put 2 hours a day for meditation.
With gratitude, I appreciate you sharing this Trevor. You share a critical message that needs to be shared over and over....
Wow!!! Great talk.The way the speaker addresses the basics fundamentals of our life and the problems we are facing,anyone can easily relate with it.And the solution this is diving in by meditation is indeed true..!!!

Good job in passing on the message! Its true that meditation is the key to the core of our life itself. It gives us the ability to balance our life within, without disturbing the life out. Cheers
Thanks. Enhanced
Well done Trevor
Wonderful message
I have no words to say
don't talk about solitude to talk about meditation and unplugged 2h per day, it's not solitude, solitude is when you're always alone even when you don't want to.

Actually that is incorrect. On the surface, solitude and loneliness look the same, but 'solitude' is a healthy practice where people grow and become productive when giving themselves time alone. Loneliness is the result of being alone when you do not want to be, it is unhealthy and mentally tormenting.

you're right my mistake. i didn't translate into the right word in my mind because for me loneliness is translate by solitude.
