I’m British, I do this sort of thing. But not as much and not in the ways that Dr Laura Trice argues for in this TED talk. Hand on heart, I expected this video to be a bit preachy, certainly a bit insincere, but she’s got a point and she’s persuasive. Also rather brief, which you have to be thankful for:

That’s the whole video right there but you can see it with an interactive transcript (not entirely sure what that means but you’re curious to find out now) on the TED talk website.

Also, a tip of the forehead to Lifehacker for spotting it.
