How to Make Your Efforts Count: Feeling Good vs. Doing Good
Bjørn Lomborg is a celebrated professor, statistician, and author of Cool It. Named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time Magazine, Lomborg energizes participants with a controversial and stimulating session on how to prioritize the world's greatest problems—global warming, world poverty, disease—based on how effective our solutions might be. It's a thought-provoking and provocative list. The premise is that we can't solve every problem in the world, so we must ask: Which ones should we fix first?

Success, fulfillment, and the Power of Being an Invisible

In an age where gaining attention seems to be valued above all else what kind of person chooses to work behind the scenes . . . and thrives there? We too often measure our worth by the amount of praise we receive and, online, where we spend so much of our time today, by the number of "likes" and followers we have. But what if the supposed purpose of seeking all this attention is a vast myth?
