At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.

Incredible story... The other commenters don't seem to like the details of the climb... But it actually explained the role of emotions perfectly

[@TheWiseOldChinaman]

My gosh lady - spare us the details on the damn mountain climbing and get to the point of the video!

[@kahinaharrache6038]

I just finished reading her book !

[@beremill2184]

Emotion in decisions described perfectly .

[@chasemuratore6725]

Somehow listening to this has depleted me of positive emotions, and replaced them with a minutia of irrelevant information wrapped in a British accent.

[@joshthomas6219]

Agreed it was more of a therapy session for her

[@ojoaomotta]

mate whatahell was that lol

[@seikochristopherward9908]

Good job.

[@hopaideia]

The topic interests me, emotions and decision making. But this video is more of your description of your ascent of Mount Everest. Congratulations on that, but the title is misleading.

[@malekebadi9805]

Coming up with a story is a good method to advertise, but NOT ALWAYS.

[@fantasyteamshorts6112]

I have seen that when humans involve emotions and past experience in decision making, they mostly make the wrong decisions
