TED Talk Tuesday #226: Laughter builds resilience

TED continues to spread ideas and help us all be better critical thinkers. Watching, listening and talking about TED Talks is a popular pastime for many in the CN&CO community. We visit TED.com regularly to clear our heads, have a laugh, learn or get inspired. TED Talks open our minds, spark new ways of thinking and can lead to some very interesting conversations and business opportunities. Each week we pick a favourite and publish it on a Tuesday, because we like how “TED Talk Tuesday” sounds. It’s also a way that the CN&CO team play their part in spreading ideas and helping to make the world a better place.

This talk was chosen by Stella.

We have all heard the saying, “laughter is the best medicine”, well according to Daniel Murray from TEDx Cambridge, if done right, laughter can lead to a better, happier, healthier life and can build a more resilient you.

This may very well explain why we, South Africans, are so resilient! Could it be because of everything we have been through as a young democracy, or could it be because we have found a way to laugh at it all…. with the side effect being a resilient, strong country?

Have a watch and see if you agree…..
