Hey y'all, you're listening to TED Talks Daily, where we bring you new ideas to spark your curiosity every day.

I'm your host, Elise Hu.

Welcome back to our first podcast playlist of 26.

Today, we have dropped 10 talks from our archive onto the feed all at once to motivate you,

to keep you going when things are hard, to inspire you as the weather shifts, to help kickstart

that new project or idea, or if things are feeling good for you right now, just to offer a

different perspective. Whatever type of motivation you might need, we have a TED talk for that.

Next up in our playlist, what do we do in the face of a crisis?

Everyone experiences loss, but how do you cope with the tough moments that follow?

In this talk from 2019, resilience researcher and trauma survivor, Lucy Hohn,

shares three hard-won strategies for developing the capacity

to brave adversity, overcome struggle, and face whatever may come head on with fortitude and grace.

That's coming up right after a short break.

And now our TED Talk of the Day.

So I'd like to start, if I may, by asking you some questions.

If you've ever lost someone you truly love, ever had your heart broken,

ever struggled through an acrimonious divorce or being the victim of infidelity, please stand up. If you've ever lived through a natural disaster,

been bullied or been made redundant, stand on up. If you've ever had a miscarriage, if you've ever had an abortion or struggle through

infertility, please stand up. Finally, if you or anyone you love has had to cope with mental

illness, dementia, some form of physical impairment or cope with suicide, please stand up.

Look around you.

Adversity doesn't discriminate.
