Can anyone become happier? Psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky studies this question in her lab, doing experiments on "happiness interventions" to see what kinds of actions elicit this sought-after emotion. In a quick talk, she shares the results of her work: a small shift that can change your relationships and put you on the path to happiness.
任何人都能变得更快乐吗？心理学家索尼娅・柳博米尔斯基（Sonja Lyubomirsky）在她的实验室里研究了这个问题，她通过开展 “幸福干预” 实验，探寻哪些行为能唤起人们苦苦追寻的幸福感。在一场简短的演讲中，她分享了自己的研究成果：一个小小的转变，就能改变你的人际关系，并带你走上通往幸福的道路。

Psychologist Elizabeth Loftus studies memories. More precisely, she studies false memories, when people either remember things that didn't happen or remember them differently from the way they really were. It's more common than you might think, and Loftus shares some startling stories and statistics -- and raises some important ethical questions.
心理学家伊丽莎白·洛夫特斯（Elizabeth Loftus）是研究记忆的。更确切地说，她研究错误的记忆，当人们记得根本没发生的事时，或者记得根本不同的事时的错误记忆。错误记忆的发生比你想得要常见得多，洛塔斯将分享一些令人吃惊的故事和统计结果，并提出一些需要我们思考的、重要的道德问题。

伊丽莎白·洛夫特斯揭示了记忆并非可靠不变，而是具有可变性，由此改写了法律发展的进程。自 20 世纪 70 年代起，洛夫特斯产出了一系列令人瞩目的学术研究成果，还以专家证人的身份现身数百个法庭：为那些因目击证人证词而面临刑事指控的被告助力辩护，同时驳斥了当时盛行的 “恢复性记忆” 理论，其与凯瑟琳·凯查姆合著的《被压抑的记忆之谜：虚假记忆与性虐待指控》便是这一主张的代表作。

此后，洛夫特斯一直致力于探究虚假记忆对日常生活的影响，这一研究也让她发掘出记忆改造颇具突破性的临床应用价值 —— 其中就包括通过为患者植入对健康食品的偏好，来实现对肥胖问题的干预。

How you respond to setbacks is what defines your character, says Stacey Abrams, the first Black woman in the history of the United States to be nominated by a major party for governor. In an electrifying talk, she shares the lessons she learned from her campaign for governor of Georgia -- and some advice on how to change the world. "Be aggressive about your ambition," Abrams says.
如何应对挫败定义了你的性格。史黛西·艾布拉姆斯(Stacey Abrams)是美国历史上第一位被主要政党提名为州长的黑人女性——她在那场激烈的竞选中失败了，但正如她所说:唯一的选择就是继续前进。在一场激动人心的演讲中，她分享了自己在竞选乔治亚州州长过程中获得的经验教训，如何改变世界的一些建议，以及对她下一步行动的一些暗示。艾布拉姆斯说:“要有野心。”

The Viking Age. When medieval, horn-helmeted Scandinavian men ravaged Europe, scribbling mysterious runes and toasting their victories in goblets forged from enemy skulls before bidding farewell in fiery funerals. Except… that’s not quite how it went. So, what were the Vikings actually like? Stephanie H. Smith debunks common misconceptions about the time period. [Directed by Avi Ofer, narrated by Alexandra Panzer, music by Cem Misirlioglu, WORKPLAYWORK].
维京时代。在那个时代，中世纪戴着牛角头盔的男子掠夺了欧洲，书写神秘的卢恩符文，高举用敌人头骨铸成的杯子为胜利干杯，接着在烈火葬礼中道别。只是，实情并非完全如此……所以，真正的维京人是什么样子的？史蒂芬妮‧宏奇尔‧史密斯（Stephanie H. Smith）会透过这支影片，揭穿大对于那个时期的常见误解。

After decades working in technology across both the US and China, Alvin W. Graylin sees three possible paths for the future of AI: one where tech giants create a class of trillionaires, one where competition escalates into war or one where humanity builds and shares this technology for the common good. In conversation with TED Radio Hour host Manoush Zomorodi, Graylin cuts through the hype to clarify how we choose the right path.
阿尔文·W·格雷林（汪丛青，Alvin W. Graylin）在美国和中国科技领域深耕数十年。他认为人工智能的未来有三种可能的走向：一是科技巨头创造出一批亿万富翁；二是竞争升级演变成战争；三是人类共同开发并分享这项技术，造福全人类。在与TED广播节目主持人马努什·佐莫罗迪（Manoush Zomorodi）的对话中，格雷林拨开迷雾，阐明了我们应该如何选择正确的道路。

Human potential will only accelerate with AI answering questions better and faster than ever before, says Aravind Srinivas, cofounder and CEO of conversational search engine Perplexity. He examines the trends driving new AI-powered tools that nourish curiosity and creativity — and how they might usher in a new era of intellectual growth and discovery. "Knowledge does not really care about who you are, where you're from or who you have access to. Rather, what matters is the next question you're going to ask," says Srinivas.

人类的潜力只会随着 AI 越来越擅长、越来越快速地回答问题增长，对话式搜索引擎 Perplexity 的联合创始人兼 CEO 阿拉温德·斯里尼瓦斯（Aravind Srinivas）如此说道。他细细研究了是什么趋势推动着那些滋养好奇心和创造力的 AI 新工具，它们又怎样引领一个智力增长和发现的新时代。“知识并不在乎你是谁、你来自哪里、你能接触到什么人。相反，关键在于你接下来要问的问题，”斯里尼瓦斯说道。

Entrepreneur and TED Fellow Jane Marie Chen started a company that created a low-cost, portable incubator for premature babies in underserved communities, with the goal of saving more than one million babies around the world. After a decade of relentless challenges, the company shut down — pushing her into complete burnout and a profound personal reckoning. In this powerful talk, she shares what happened next and how it taught her the secret to resilience.
企业家及 TED 会员陈姿谕创立了一家公司，专为医疗资源匮乏的地区研发低成本的行动保温箱，目标是救活全球超过一百万名的早产儿。在经历了十年不间断的挑战后，公司倒闭了——这让她陷入彻底的精疲力竭，也让她开始了一场深刻的自我省思。在这场十分有力的演说中，她会分享这之后发生的事，以及这段经历如何让她学到“韧性”的秘密。

陈姿谕是拥抱全球（Embrace Global） 的联合创始人及前首席执行官。该机构凭借其开创性的便携式婴儿暖箱，已惠及逾百万名新生儿。她的畅销回忆录《如浪破碎》（Like a Wave We Break），记述了拥抱全球从创立崛起，到几近崩塌的历程；这段绝境也迫使她直面过往，最终重新定义了自我认知与成功的内涵。如今，陈姿谕转型为领导力发展教练，助力个人与团队培育更深层的自我觉察与同理心 —— 这正是真正韧性的基石。

It sounds like science fiction, but journalist Stephen Petranek considers it fact: within 20 years, humans will live on Mars. In this provocative talk, Petranek makes the case that humans will become a spacefaring species and describes in fascinating detail how we'll make Mars our next home. "Humans will survive no matter what happens on Earth," Petranek says. "We will never be the last of our kind."

Picture this: a rocket ship crash-lands on a planet, and an alien approaches the spacecraft. What do you see in your mind when you visualize this scene? For Alex Rosenthal (and many others), the answer is: absolutely nothing. Exploring the fascinating science of aphantasia, or the inability to generate mental images, he shows why our minds are much more different than we think.

There’s a common idea that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become great at something. From an early age, we are encouraged to choose our path, focus specifically, and start racking up those hours. But, what if these head starts aren’t helping us the way we think they do? What if there’s a better way to excel? David Epstein shares how a different approach could set us up for greater success. [Directed by Avi Ofer, music by Stephen LaRosa]
坊间一直有这样一种说法：要在某一领域做到顶尖，需要投入一万小时的练习。我们从小就被教导要选定人生方向，专注深耕，开始为积累这一万小时埋头努力。可如果，这些早早的起步，并非如我们所想那般能带来助力呢？如果，还有一种更优的方式能让我们脱颖而出呢？戴维・爱泼斯坦为我们分享另一种成长路径，如何能为我们铺就更广阔的成功之路。
