As Barry Schwartz explained in his classic TED Talk “The paradox of choice,” the more options you have, the more confounding making a decision can feel. This is the logic behind our new Surprise Me feature, a serendipity engine that lets you decide what kind of talks you’d like to see and how long you have to watch them. It’s an easy way to find great talks you’ve never seen before. Some of options you can try:

• Watch 55 minutes of jaw-dropping talks >>
• See 20 minutes of funny talks >>
• Try this 40-minute playlist of talks rated by your fellow TEDsters as “inspiring” >>
• Watch 25 minutes of persuasive talks >>
• Check out 35 minutes of courageous talks >>
• See 15 minutes of talks your peers described as “beautiful” >>
• Watch 50 minutes worth of ingenious talks >>
• Or go for 30 minutes of talks rated “fascinating” >>

But the sky is the limit here. Create your own personalized playlist by heading to our Surprise Me page. Enjoy!
