TED
Best For:
The deep thinker who needs a dose of inspiration and a “big idea” to talk about at dinner
Cost:
Free
Sometimes you don’t want a full course; you just want to hear a smart person explain a big idea in a way that sticks. That’s exactly what the TED app is for. It gives you access to thousands of TED Talks across science, psychology, design, business, and personal development. While there are some long talks, you can also find quick and easy ones under 20 minutes.
You can browse by topic, build a “watch later” list, and even download talks for offline viewing, which is handy for flights or commutes.
TED also offers playlists curated around themes like creativity, climate, or leadership, so you can binge a topic without hunting for every individual video.
