300+ Mind Expanding Documentaries. I watch a lot of documentaries.
I think they are incredible tools for learning and increasing our awareness of important issues.

5 Must-Read Books by TED Global Speakers, Part 2. By Maria Popova From life before birth to living with death, or what marine life has to do with global equality.
With TED Global a mere 24 hours way, it’s time for the second part of this year’s reading list of books by TED Global speakers, a continuation of the first installment of five featured here last month.
