Praise from TED Speakers

Having given several TED talks, I can speak from experience that very few speakers expect that anyone will take what they say seriously enough to act on it.  Kylie Dunn did, launching a courageous year of taking TED talks to heart and translating them into action. This book is an inspiring account of Kylie's "Year of TED." I hope that people will read the book and learn from it that life change is possible.  And I hope that future TED speakers will read it and learn that they really need to mean what they say, as lives may hang in the balance.  

Barry Schwartz Professor of psychology at Swarthmore College. Bary has given three TED talks, watched by more than 10 million people. His most recent book, based on a TED talk, is "Why We Work."  

What I really appreciated about Kylie's project, was that she opened up a broader discussion with these TED Talks. As a speaker, I enjoyed the connection to Kylie during her activity on leadership, and seeing what she's done overall. It's the sort of thing I wish happened more often.  

Dave Logan President of CultureSync, and teaches at the USC Marshall School of Business. His TED Talk on tribal leadership shares the ideas from his bestselling books on the topic.  

Love the idea of going beyond the quick hit of a TED talk to test the ideas in real life. A brave, smart and fascinating experiment.  

Carl Honoré  TED speaker and award-winning writer of a number of bestselling books on slowing down in all aspects of life.  

Even the lucky few who attend the expensive TED conference tend to head home without making any change in their life. I so admire what Kylie has done here, and so glad she's shared her story, in this charming, captivating, and inspiring book.
