Here’s something to give you goose bumps.
It’s an official trailer for the BBC series Planet Earth set to the music of Icelandic band Sigur Ros.
And just as the gorgeous documentary-series – I recommend watching it in High Definition
- about life on Earth it’s jaw-droppingly good. Mixing the footage with the beautiful song “Hoppipolla” from the great Icelandic band´s album Takk
is an inspired and inspiring choice.

Keith Ferrazzi – author of “Never Eat Alone” – gives some useful advice on how to avoid becoming an annoying networking jerk.
Some good practical pointers to keep in mind in this one.

Here´s an odd clip I found.
It’s the two famous personal development speakers/writers Brian Tracy and Jim Rohn having a discussion about self-confidence and self-esteem, the difference between them and how to build them both. Definitely recommended listening.
The clip is six and a half minutes long. If you are a RSS-subscriber, you can listen to the clip here.

Here’s a short and great little video about goal-setting with Brian Tracy.
At the end of one of his seminars he gives the participants this one small piece of homework.
If done then this simple but effective goal-setting exercise can be life-changing. I highly recommend taking a minute and a half to watch the video. And then doing the exercise.

In this video from TEDtalks inventor and visionary Ray Kurzweil explains how we by the 2020s we will for instance have reverse-engineered the human brain and how the line between man and machine will disappear.
I don´t know if Kurzweil is perhaps too wildly optimistic. Even if we have exponential growth in technology and other areas it still seems a little to soon to have such progress in just a few decades. Still, I really appreciate Kurzweil´s optimism. And the future seems to hold some very interesting possibilities.
This video was recorded in 2005 and is 23 minutes long. If you’re a RSS-subscriber, you can watch the video here.
