Hi, I'm Victoria Brown, Co-Founder of Bigthink.com.
The way we live and work is changing at a faster pace than ever before.
Since Big Think launched in 2008, our mission has always been to help our audience get smarter
faster.
We've brought you idea-driven video interviews with thousands of global thought leaders.
From Dr. Michio Kaku, to Henry Rollins, to Salman Rushdie, and many many more.
You've helped us become one of Youtube's most popular education channels, with a really
vibrant community of users.
And now, we're responding to your feedback.
We've created Big Think Mentor to bring you the world class ideas of our experts, transferred
into actionable tools to help you lead more productive, happier and healthier lives.
Up to 40% of skinny people actually may be what we call skinny fat people.
They look thin, but they're metabolically obese.
People will work much harder not to lose something than they will to gain something, and that's
not depressing, that's very useful, you can leverage that.
So basically what research suggests is that focusing on that, focusing on the future,
focusing on your goals makes people happy.
You know striving actually makes people much happier than even achieving.
I assert, that if you are depressed after learning and being exposed to the cosmic perspective,
you started your day with an unjustifiably large ego.
We'll update our programming each month to respond to your changing needs.
Watch our expert video, and then reinforce your learning with a guided thought experiment
or life experiment provided in the comments section below.
Report back on your results, engage in community debate, and make recommendations for new experts
and areas of study.
Join us today, and become a founding member of Big Think Mentor.
