  1. Why are a lot of these people on ted talk, take their time and effort to present it to strangers or random people, there must be some benefit for them.

  2. This is cool and brilliant. I love the idea of functional storytelling. I always prefer triggering something by a specific event. I am now trying to create a comics and this really inspires me a lot. Now I can categorize the different of stories to give my readers the feelings I want to express to them.

  3. If you, like I do, play TED Talks to get to sleep or stay asleep, this is NOT the talk for you. @_@
    Other than being startled rudely awake in the middle of my sleep cycle, it is a very good talk. Just save it for after lunch!

  4. I disagree with his first point, that Dopamine is increased by creating suspense. Why? Because dopamine levels rise as a reaction to a positive outcome. Let's use working out as an example. Your body releases dopamine as a reward once you workout as a reward for doing so. If suspense is the main point of your story telling abilities, you won't reach any type of rewarding sense for your listener and therefore you will not help them feel the effects of dopamine. Let's say you lie in bed all day dreaming about how good it might feel to workout and you never actually do it, would you feel a sense of reward and therefore would you feel any dopamine? Perhaps if you create suspense and then allow the listener to access information to alleviate that sense of suspense after a period of time, the outcome might be different. Also, why can't he spell "Dopamine" properly in his slide if he's "mr death by power point"? I will give him credit where it's due though, he made great points on how to increase oxytocin and endorphins.

  5. I paused the video, went to the comment area and finally found that he didn't tell what the woman said…

  6. I totally didn’t connect with this video, and everyone in the comments did, however the last talk I watched I connected with immensely, and everyone in the comments hated it

  7. He’s got a weird accent. I can’t place it. Sort of public school English but with a dash of German thrown in.
    I guess he’s just Swedish though
