I think about relationships a lot, and something that comes up a lot in my work is this belief that relationships are hard.

Your Relationship Expectations Could Be Holding You Back | Stephanie R. Yates-Anyabwile | TED · TED

Over the course of my international career with the United Nations, I noticed something that should not be controversial, but still is. We have overly bureaucratized peace.

What I Learned from 100 Days of Rejection | Jia Jiang | TED · TED

was a potential resolution to this paradox. Social connection, after all, isn't something that just happens to us. It's a choice we make at times

The Simple Habit for a Happier Social Life | Nicholas Epley | TED · TED

is not unique to me. It's something we see over and over again in varying shades and magnitudes across different contexts that vary a little bit across people --

The Simple Habit for a Happier Social Life | Nicholas Epley | TED · TED

And basically the idea is for 30 days you go out and look for rejection, and every day get rejected at something, and then by the end, you desensitize yourself from the pain.

So the test failures, the exceptions, the outliers teach us what we don't know and lead us to something new. This is how science moves forward. This is how science learns.

Now, I think most of us would agree that there's something a little gross about pee. You know, it's something that we don't really like to talk about,

that there's something a little gross about pee. You know, it's something that we don't really like to talk about, and we keep the act of doing it very private.

But when Lunenfeld peered into the world of pee, he discovered something deeply helpful to humanity. And after a year and a half of making my show,

they are what philosophers called “speech acts.” That is, language that does something other than describe the world. When you tell a child to clean up their room,

And when you believe that prediction, as if it were telling you something about the future, when you give in to the fear of missing out,
