For many working Americans, "TGIF" is what they look forward to every week. Barrett Brooks wants to change that. If we are living for 2 out of 7 days of the week, we are missing 70% of our life. Imagine having a career where you are always excited to get back to work. Barrett explains that instead of "TGIF", we should be Living for Monday.

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)
