I'm in Edinburgh this week among 850 curious optimists at the fifth TEDGlobal event in the UK (and any pessimists among them are at least trying to sound like optimists).

This remains one of the highest-calibre speaker events in the country, and it's a credit to Bruno Giussani, Chris Anderson, Tom Rielly, June Cohen and team that they continue to source some of the world's best (and often most unlikely) storytellers.
