TED.com is much too good to keep a secret. If you’ve not come across it before you have a cornucopia in front of you waiting to discovered and explored. TED.com is website full of mind changing lectures, videoed at TED conferences around the world, in which experts and sages talk about Technology, Education and Design.

There is a TED app for the iPhone too, which means I often start the day with a quick lecture in bed with my cup of tea before I get going.

I’d like to share the lecture I watched this morning by Devdutt Pattanaik, called East vs. West — the myths that mystify. Devdutt is an engaging speaker who very simply explains the difference between western and Indian views of life and why the west finds it hard to understand. (I get the feeling that the east understands the west only too well!)

Here is a master storyteller at work, proving what I always believe, that no amount of preaching is as effective as a simple story well told.
