TED Book Club with TED book recommendations - Only on Fable!

Padma WarriorJune 29, 2021

I am delighted to welcome TED to the Fable family today! The iconic nonprofit organization TED will share book recommendations focused on life-changing themes in a free book club that’s open to everyone on Fable. The TED Talks team will regularly interact with readers in a book club and help us all discover new ideas and unleash our creativity. Personally, I have been a regular at many TED events for over two decades and learned a lot from incredible speakers from around the world. I am thrilled to bring the TED Book Club to Fable, so that we can continue to build great communities around the power of reading. In a series of thematic Folios from TED, each book recommendation is paired with a TED Talk to jump-start our imagination. The first in the series is the Igniting Inspiration Folio which contains five unforgettable TED Talks books, including creative personal-growth classics like Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Big Magic” alongside inspiring personal journeys like Amy Tan’s “Where the Past Begins.”Members of our free TED Book Club will read one of these life-changing books together every month, taking a deep dive into the wealth of additional resources surrounding each book. The TED Book Club is open to all readers who seek a more profound understanding of the world and believe passionately in spreading the power of ideas. The TED Book Club opens with “Bored and Brilliant” by Manoush Zomorodi. As you read this book on Fable, the TED Talks team will guide you through a month-long journey toward mental wellness, offering weekly challenges to change your habits and make more time for creativity. Along the way, you can take interactive quizzes, listen to inspiring podcasts, and of course, discover new TED Talks books to enjoy!

TED Talks and Fable - A perfect alignment

I’ve attended TED Talks since the earliest days of the conference where Technology, Entertainment, and Design converged. At those events, I learned from leaders in every field, found inspiration from great creatives, and connected with a global community of people devoted to sharing the best and brightest ideas.TED and Fable share some core beliefs. Like TED, we believe in the power of ideas to change attitudes and lives. With our social reading platform for book clubs, Fable will help the TED Talks team connect with readers like you. The stories they share through Fable Folios will push your imagination and improve your cognitive fitness. Ever since 1984, TED Talks have inspired generations of leaders and curious souls. I am honored that Fable can help them continue that mission through reading and help the TED community reap all the wellness benefits of books. Let’s start reading together.
