·Nov 4, 2024

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.
