This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Why do babies and toddlers spontaneously act to assist strangers? They’re high. Both neuroscientists and evolutionary biologists agree, the exercise of altruism releases all the good drugs: dopamine, oxytocin and endorphins. So why is it downhill from the nursery? How can you turn friends and haters into active supporters? Implement a radical technique called “The Ben Franklin Effect.”
Dr. Wendy Mogel is a practicing clinical psychologist, New York Times best selling author, and international public speaker. In more than five hundred talks she’s addressed unusually diverse audiences including non-English speaking business women in Beijing, youth leaders at a Buddhist institute in Sydney, Baptist clergy, talent agents, and the graduating class of 2014 at the interfaith Baccalaureate Ceremony of the Claremont Colleges.
She was once on a program with President Barack Obama, once with the Dalai Lama and once with circus performers.
Currently she serves on the scientific advisory board of Parents Magazine and is a research and policy advisor for Challenge Success-a child advocacy program of the Stanford University School of Education.
Dr. Mogel is a frequent guest expert on national media. She weighs in on issues of the day and the topic for which she is best known: the protection and promotion of self-reliance, resilience, accountability and exuberance in children.
In a starred review Publisher’s Weekly described her perennial bestseller, The Blessing of a Skinned Knee, as “Impassioned, lyrical and eminently practical-a real treasure.” Critical praise for her book about raising teenagers, The Blessing of a B Minus, emphasizes its wit, wisdom, compassion and common sense.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
