TEDx Talks — The World's Most-Watched Short-Form Ideas Platform | Self Growth Videos

TEDx launched in 2009 as a way to extend the reach of TED’s “ideas worth spreading” mission beyond the annual main TED conferences. TEDx events are organized independently under a license from TED and must follow a specific format: talks under 18 minutes, no paid speakers, no product pitches, curated around a single cohesive theme. Over 50 million hours of TEDx content have been produced globally across more than 100 countries.

The official TEDx Talks YouTube channel — launched in 2009 — now hosts more than 230,000 talks and has grown to over 40 million subscribers. It is one of the largest ideas-focused channels in the platform’s history. The channel serves as a central distribution point for talks that might otherwise live only on individual local TEDx event pages, giving high-quality speakers the chance to reach global audiences they could not otherwise access.

Many of the teachers featured elsewhere on Self Growth Videos delivered breakthrough TEDx talks early in their public teaching careers — Brené Brown’s “The Power of Vulnerability” (now 65M+ views) and Simon Sinek’s “How Great Leaders Inspire Action” (now 80M+ views) are two of the most-viewed TEDx talks of all time. Both launched their careers from the TEDx stage.

This page serves as a curated gateway to the best personal-development, consciousness, and mindset TEDx talks. Below you’ll find a selection drawn from the broader catalog, emphasizing talks that have held up over time and that introduce concepts without requiring you to already know the speaker.
