Justin Baldoni is done trying to be "man enough" according to society's harsh definitions. So he's starting a dialogue about redefining masculinity -- to figure out ways to be not just good men but good humans. In a warm, personal talk, the actor and filmmaker shares his effort to reconcile who he is with who the world tells him a man should be. And he has a challenge for men: "See if you can use the same qualities that you feel make you a man to go deeper," Baldoni says. "Your strength, your bravery, your toughness: Are you brave enough to be vulnerable? Are you strong enough to be sensitive? Are you confident enough to listen?" Watch »

If you're having surgery, you want the best surgical team to collaborate on your case, no matter where they might be. Surgeon and entrepreneur Nadine Hachach-Haram is developing a new system that helps surgeons operate together (and train one another on new techniques) from remote locations using low-cost augmented reality tools. Watch the system in action as she joins a surgeon in Minnesota in performing a knee surgery live on her laptop from the TED stage in New Orleans. As she says: "Through simple, everyday devices that we take for granted, we can do miraculous things." (This talk contains images of surgery.) Watch »

Quote of the Week

I've been pretending to be a man that I'm not my entire life. I've been pretending to be strong when I felt weak, confident when I felt insecure and tough when really I was hurting. And I can tell you right now that it is exhausting."

Justin Baldoni
