Thank you

[@terranhealer]

I thought in order to play rules were necessary. Sure the rules can be played with but it seems as we grow up its the very rules (limitations) that make games interesting. If you're playing chess, its not fun if your opponent breaks the rules. In essence rules give life a sense of meaning.

As someone who is an introvert, I have to argue with her assessment. Being by myself is my happy place. I can socialize and talk to anyone and get along with everyone. But at the end of the day all I need is a good book, a movie or a video game and I'm perfectly content and happy. Being around people for too long is to me, what isolation is to most people, torture.

[@josebonilla4785]

The same here

[@TheWordImmanuel]

Couldn't agree with you more.

[@williamkreth]

I agree. I greatly enjoy my alone time. To the point that people think it's unnatural

[@roypressler6548]

Wouldn't alone time for introverts be DOWNTIME. I always personality test out EXTREMELY INTROVERTED. I would however, agree with her that too little "OTHERS" destroys even healthy extreme introverts. Yet, gimmie lots of alone time. Play too seems more "brain lightening up" to me with "OTHERS" as long as that radical competition balogna gets outlawed. God made one human who can jump the highest, make the highest % of 3 pointers, procreate the most desireable currently beautiful children or be the perfect physician. And only one Son of Man through which Paradise can be ANY body's. ALL that makes competition, even comparisons unneccessary. Even WRONG.. OFFENSIVE to The Creator, Who is incapable of mistakes, incapable of not Loving or incapable of allowing INJUSTICE to endure. Once in Eternal Paradise, each one will know SO MUCH more than those pitiful littles.

Our stress does not come solely from a lack of downtime to many people. Most from unable to achieve personal greatness. Lots of people struggle with living, making money to put food on the table and having a roof over their head. The speaker speaks from her own personal view which is helpful for those who shared the same living situation with her. As the Director of youth and Child Life admin, she does not have trouble making enough money to raise her family. And that's where stress come from in life for many people.

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society" (Jiddu Krishnamurti)

[@bircruz555]

On point. I step out to connect with society from time to time and just as quickly I retreat, like the ground hog: five more months of winter. The problem, it seems to me, is that people have been extremely conditioned to abandon what makes them special as individuals. They see movies, they act out the movies. Individuals have allowed so many agents of conditioning a free reign in their lives, and they come out uninteresting, boring, extremely shallow and a sheer waste of time and emotions. Where is the attraction in that?

As interesting as that is, many people work more than 40 hours a week and still live in poverty.

[@allisknu11]

I completely understand what she's saying about adaptability. I agree with her, 100%. I just don't care to adapt to most of "this world" we have now. The way I have found peace, which may be different for everyone, is to adapt by not going with the flow of globalization. For everyone, it's a different adaptation. I hope everyone finds theirs.

With all respect to the fact that people watching this come from diverse situations I found great value in her comments and learning. Society does glorify work, and there are also those who must work many hours just to get by. In either case would it not be ideal to have time to be creative (play), socialize, and have downtime? How we get there is often the more difficult question especially when options seem few. TED talks rarely answer this type of question due to time constraints, but it allows us to exercise our own creativity in solving our own problems.

[@donfields1234]

I have been saying something similar for decades, of all the courses we teach and learn, of all the things we know and master, the one thing we arent taught is how to be "happy". And imho it should be taught every year of school, and if wise we should continue this "study" throughout our lives. For now, if your not "happy" as much as you would like, then you can try focusing on this....do what you love, or love what you do. If you have an interest, a calling, anything your drawn to then GO TO IT, you only have one life, we must use it wisely if we want to be wise, and life fullfilled lives. If you dont have any interest currently, then focus on learning to love whatever it is you are doing, even a job you hate can be turned into one you love i assure you, and imagine the power you gain when you achieve that ability, nothing stands in your way after that, then your/ we are, truly free. 😜😊✌👍👋🙏😀

[@orosmarc6697]

In my opinion the reason why nobody teach how to be happy, is because the happiness is coming from INSIDE ! Or at least should be... if not you are unhappy what ever you do with your life, like carrier , families, wealth, etc...

If you have to pick one thing it's not adaptability it is understanding; adaptability comes after understanding. Without understanding what you need for you, what do you adapt to? And really if you break it down further it is love, love is far more important than anything for us, but love for all is not realistic but understanding is as it only requires you to understand you and once you understand you you can give love.

Listening to this TED I feel confortable: play, other, downtime. I would say: connection. And I like that you don't insist with the sentence: "we are rewarded". Because we're grown up watching out for punishments, hence for guilt and shame, and looking for prizes. Freedom, authonomy and connection grow with free playing, with unconditional love experience, experiencing how our life gets enriched, how we can help the other have a marvellous life, as Marshall Rosenberg says.

[@skssarath361]

Excellent presentation and thought provoking topic. Appreciate the efforts of Dr Shimi. A humble suggestion- I feel like audience can get the best out of all presenters if TEDx can allow them some buffer time rather than asking them to stick to exact time frame. This allows them to dedicate 100% of their talent in delivering the presentation than being equally concerned about the timer running.

Adaptability is a great way to survive, but not great if you wish to thrive. Napoleon wasn't a great general because he could adapt to his setting. If you want to get up from the table never having lost any money, but also not winning any either, than do everything you can to make sure no one notices you were even there. Just adapt. If you don't want anyone to hate you than adapt socially. No one will hate you. In fact, they'll likely forget you were ever there. Adapt. If you never want to get fired, then adapt. You never will. You'll also never know what it is that you could have been in life other than a guy who was never fired. To be the person you are, you must stand firm in who you are when the temptation is greatest to adapt to something else.

[@En8el]

Good observation. My synopsis of your objection is: Adapting to WHAT? Kang offers her adapting with the POD solution to address going overboard on goal-setting & stress. (War is the most complete justification of goals & stress, so choosing Napoleon was the most extreme example of being notable that you could choose, but I get your point.) Perhaps an apt continuing question might be, "What *IS* the "person we are"? Are humans merely a product of their culture and ways children are raised? Or can we adapt (by using POD play, others & downtime) to CHOOSE what values and convictions we "are," might want to "sponsor" or "represent," (and hopefully embody and demonstrate in inventive, practical ways) despite our original conditioning? Hopefully, a person would not get too focused on the "OTHER" section of Dr. Kang's POD idea, sacrificing what we discover is true for ourselves during the "PLAY" feature of POD. Experiencing the effects of how we act and responding to balance our efforts in real time *is* adapting. In a perfect world, this usually generates prioritizing convictions and goals that come from experience, without abandoning any advantageous features. However, I have experienced those limitations you outlined above in being "too" adaptable by not really being deliberate enough at arranging my priorities. For awhile instead, I made "Adapting" THE priority and suffered the effects you describe! But I was able to recognize what was happening and hit the "refresh" button. I'm hoping you are still able to respond...!

Kristopher Scott all things in moderation, dear. Also, one must use common sense to know when to apply particular concepts.

This works if you are working in a meritocratic environment. It doesn’t work if you are working in a dysfunctional environment where you expected to adapt to inefficiencies.

[@khsimagesdotcom856]

@@muddyshoes4517 Dr. Shimi Kang referred to bacteria, plants, animals (particularly dolphins), large and small businesses, corporations, humans, governments, empires, raising kids. That sounds like nearly all of life to me. In my experience, a great deal of stress is born out of struggling to conform. It is often as simple as being empowered to be great the way we are. As I said, if you get good at adapting, it is a great way to survive (nearly anywhere). But if you go where you are appreciated instead of just tolerated, you will benefit much more.

[@khsimagesdotcom856]

@@En8el Adaptation has its place but cannot be 'THE priority' as Dr. Shimi Kang emphasizes. Instead, prioritize your goals and you will naturally adapt accordingly. Without YOUR true goals, you can have all the play, interaction and rest you want (as many of us already do these things to some degree already), but without a prominent focus on what we want (our goals), we are left with stress and little to show for it. Do you have goals and the dedication to follow them is more the question. Think of it this way: What if we'll have stress anyways? What if eliminating stressors from our lives with all kinds of made up new skills (packaged as acronyms) do little more than serve as a temporary break from the stress? What if the stress isn't going anywhere no matter what and this is simply as good as it gets? If that's true then maybe it's more about finding the thing(s) that make the stress worth it. A specialist selling a book on KZbin isn't likely to tell us what that thing is. We'll have to answer that for ourselves and when we find it, instead of compromising in order to adapt and survive, we see these things through for better or for worst. A great man once said, a person with nothing to die for also has nothing to live for (MLK Jr.).

Not true, we are naturally social. Hormones release she talked about is true. U isolate, u lose everyday social skills which is d bedrock of our society.

> being alone not same as being lonely! Yeah and solitary confinement is not the same as setting some time aside for yourself. Absolutely ridiculous comparison. I love how many people in these comments seem to think they are so different from others because they like time alone. Newsflash: EVERYONE DOES. Just not for prolonged amounts of time

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to your speech. So wonderfully simple and practical and achievable advice!

Emotional intelligence ➡️ adaptability

You have to live and observe a wide range of circumstances before being qualified to assess “the one thing” that works for everybody.

I was listening to this as I fell asleep and thought it was a great speech. I had to shake off my sleepiness when I heard she was giving prescriptions for pot (which really disappointed me). I'm so relieved and amused to find out it wasn't pot...

[@nkechiajakor1183]

Pot very funny. d POD thing is very true

Ted talks:" ideas worth sharing" means actually ideas worth selling , everybody is always selling something.

[@CarmenElRose]

Not always but this talk sucks

[@jamesron5625]

Can’t sell if you don’t buy

Dr. Kang's mom successfully raised 5 children without even a first grade education. I found her puzzlement over why anyone needs to be taught "play, others, downtime" very refreshing.
