11 TED Talks About "Working Smarter"

I'm always inspired and amazed by the talks that TED shares online everyday - here is a playlist of 11 TED Talks about "working smarter" -  in their words, "This isn't your father's business advice. These talks -- from a philosopher, a general, a cognitive psychologist -- offer unconventional, and uncommonly useful, advice on leading, working, creating and living better."

Hope you find them as inspiring as I do.
