Thank you

🔥🔥🔥

Thanks a lot

Your speech made me feel fun ❤

Fun? just staying alive is a challenge and not farting too loud

Amazing fun in life

Insightful and actionable ❤

You were doing so well until the recommendations, which is super funny that you didn’t understand your own hundreds of hours of research 😁

Yes this is passion bcos consist of 3 elemen playfullnes, connection, and flow

I said fun is our activity which is a passion

I love this talk. It' really something insightful. Idk what my life would be, if I'm so serious of all time. Fun is all that matters. Fun is really contagious.

What an incredible talk! So interesting that I even made a video about it on my channel. Her book "How to Break Up With Your Phone" is fantastic as well.

Thank you ❤ & Liked 🎉

Our are important fun in life.those are being strong of to the life us.

joy like children playing, it's great

thank you for this speech.

I tried this the other day, I looked a woman in the eye and said hello and she said I HAVE A BOYFRIEND! Fun isn't for single middle aged men. I would argue that the strongest "connection" someone could have is to be loved unconditionally and only women, dogs and children are loved unconditionally, everyone expects men to provide, to protect, to create. I heard many years ago a statement from a man in men's group, work is life and life is work and work is hard. This woman is dillusional

Bravo Hahaha !!

When you take a sick pet to the vet first question they will ask you it's diet. But no doctor ask you that. Unhealthy diet its the root causes of sadness and depression. 👍

Even Death is a big joke, that's why we get 'fun'ereal 😌

Very true that we all have fun and its good to have fun but I do have fun the way I interact with others or something. Like a long time ago I went for my uncle's graduation party and it was really fun like for instance we ate, had drinks and chatted and got to know people at the party. Many things happened at the party. We cut the cake in order to appreciate my uncle's achievement and there was full of music

I 100% agree with her. Fun is the best way to live life, the biggest healing power in the world which can cure many physical & mental health issues.
For me, living life with fun is most important thing & happiness is the main ingredient of life.
On 12th November 2025, I will also speak in TEDx & inspire people with my life journey story. How I heal my life path by having fun in whichever manner I could, by doing many things, which I love to do. This is the biggest willpower for me through which I get what I want. This makes the environment & people with me feels awesome.

💛 Love this 🎉😊

At first I decided to watch it to improve my english level but after starting listening, I found it worth watching to learn the ways of have fun in short it is informative and funny. Thank you ❤

Yeah this video was not fun 😢

One person’s freedom or that of many does not have to be imposed on others. Everybody living in peace has to respect the reality of others.

Nicely put across..
You experience Fun...You live Life 😊

Her and Brene Brown need to do a talk together if they haven’t already! I was listening to the audio book on The Power of Fun but I had to return it to the library

Wow that was amazing!

Ads during a TED talk is distracting and intrusive to the message 😖 Definitely sucked the fun out of listening.

9/8/23😊

Ironically I’m watching this on my phone

Key ingredients of having fun:-
1. Playfulness
2. Connection
3. Flow

BRAVO!!!!!

Beautiful and fun session.

Build ur life around your life purpose and you will never have any regrets.

loved the idea and the talk! the only aspect I would like to differ on is that it is equally fulfilling and rewarding to have fun by yourself, if not more
I believe finding the courage to rebel by yourself and connecting with your surroundings itself can be just as fun

YOUR WIFE IS WHAT IA DESTROYING YOU!!!!

That was ULTRA deep & spot on. My only differing opinion is about connectivity being necessarily attached to others & not just my general environment (including animals in nature or climate change by way of travel). Terrific content❤

This was fun !

belly laughs are the best medicine!

Godbless

How much pounds to give our speach

I didn’t know this 😅

My gf gets mad at me every single night for no reason and I just say... Baht what? Just have fun! Good call

“So surprised Trump wasn’t in photo of past presidents laughing having fun.”
- Said no one, ever.

“Playful deviance!” What a delightful phrase!!!!!

Interaction with humans is the most important to create Fun

I'm noticing a pattern. Some of the best TED talks are the same ones that shouldn't even exist because of how important and how common sense they should be for everyone to have a decent life. And yet, they are currently necessary because of how fucked up our lives have become.
