50 books in 50 weeks - what I've learned: Jeff Price at TEDxMSUDenver

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. 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. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I think this should be titled "How to Be Successful"
1. For every problem you face someone else has already solved it or can help you solve it. (Books, Authors, Peer Group)
2. Love your mission. Enjoying something and loving something is different. When you love what you do, you have more energy when you’re done.
3. There is a price to be paid for just getting by.
4. Do Your Sets And Reps.
5. Become an absolute expert/master at your craft. Increase your knowledge.
6. Surround yourself with supportive people.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE TED TALKS. Thank you Mr. Price for sharing what you have learned, not only in those 50 books but along your life. I wonder why there are so many comments not liking this talk? I really value his TED Talk maybe because I lived through the same errors. Jeff's advice is powerful and saved me at least 10 years of learning by summarizing what we all want to find in the books we read. As simple as HAVE A MISSION, DO THE SETS and REPS, and DON'T LEFT YOUR TRIBE so I can re-align my thoughts and works. On the Internet you can find quantity, but this talk is just quality of advice. His is an honest reflection of a life, whose purpose is to save some headaches to you. Don't get me wrong, no offense, but I guess if you guys are too young you just can't get it. Ya'll have a great and blessed day.

thank you all for having to save 20 minutes of my life!

This was 20 minutes of him patting himself on the back. Why was it called 50 books in 50 weeks? He never talked about that. What a waste of time.

[titusdavis]

This is one of my favorite talks. His story was very relatable, although this isn't the best title for the talk. He spoke more about recovering from failure and his three reasons were a highlight of the talk. Overall excellent video and now I wonder what he'd say after finishing all 50 books.

Thank you for sharing these "lessons learned" with us. Good insights !

[ricardojulio]

great talk, came to hear about the books left with so much more !

[lucybennett]

Thanks, enjoyable talk. Good reflections on what really motivates us.

[tamartamunanemsadze]

He did not talk about 50 books much but he had pretty good points and the title is not literal of course.

[diogodasilva]

I liked this TED a lot, even though it wasn't about books.

[Cora_la_flor]

The title was misleading but I still enjoyed the talk. 😊

[williamgoode]

I'll need to revisit this many times in the future. Thanks Jeff!

Pffff I read 1, 000 books a week. I know nothing of what I read. But amazon affiliate links are in the description. Make sure you like, fav, comment and subscribe.

[ManelRuivo]

nice speech, nice lessons. I would like to know which are the 50 books on the list...

[markwilliampowell]

Ok I think I get where you are coming from with the doing but not enjoying why you are doing. The talk was definitely food for thought. Act of Valor is a favorite movie of mine as well. Thanks for presenting This on TED.

[trestylefa]

I'm sorry but his mom invented the 1st meme.

[ricardojulio]

great talk, came to hear about the books left with so much more

[tasneemalwal]

One of the worst ted talk that I have ever watched I learned nothing, and the title is misleading, he talked about him wanting to be pilot more than the books he read

[vinaymepani]

I thought this talk was pretty good. I don't know what the hate is all about. People should be grateful that these speakers willingly share what they've learned in order to help others out. Perhaps, people are looking for easy hacks that will give them instant results (I've seen other TED speakers being berated in the comments aswell). Well, unfortunately, the world doesn't work that way.

Damn that sucks you lost your medical man, I feel the pain I lost mine too, and now I'm stuck on recreational
