Favorite quote of this talk: 'Live to be alive' He explains the most important message of live very well. He also shows very clearly how it is to be dying. This is a very strong man with sense of humor.
I cried listening to this talk particularly when he spoke of all the "shoulds" we constantly tell ourselves. What a free thinker-I'm so glad that he died having discovered how to live! I'm glad he had the energy to share his secret with such humor and gentleness.
Edward truly inspired me to live my life with more curiosity and joy! An amazing writer and speaker who brings you along to his many travels with sight, sound, and taste. My plan is to read EVERYTHING he has ever written and am currently enjoying "Under the Protection of the Cow Demon", a series of travel essays that will take you around the world! Thank you, Edward.
Beautifully narrated. Everyone knows it's cliche but it is very much true and I don't know how many times people need to be told this "Live in the moment" but this guy really explained it intricately and gracefully with an added sense of humor.
To find a way to be the person I once was....been at it for about 11 years now..and it becomes more difficult every year as those bits and pieces disappear after falling off.
Good talk and glad someone else said it. I'm so tired of hearing the term and everyone adding more and more to theirs because "someone else did it and it was fun". People need to think for themselves and learn to live on their own. Find a passion and stop doing what everyone else does, do it because *you* want to.
To live, to breathe, to be in this moment. Thank you Edward for being a moment in my life that will carry on through all the rest of my moments. Mahalo mahalo mahalo❤️❤️❤️
What beautiful words. Travel is my passion too, and the stories told here are exactly why I love it so much. Very sad to see that he is no longer with us, but it seems that he made the very best of his life and with gratitude. Keep travelling!😊
What a gifted, humorous, soulful story-teller ..thank you for vividly sharing your global life-lived experiences in a TedTalk ..truly inspirational 🌺🌏🧡
Incorrect! A bucket list isn't strictly heading from one activity to another, it's a simplified guideline for heading somewhere new and while ticking off the destination/activity you wrote down, you inevitable encounter different cultures and amazing experiences, such as the one he talked about with the town outside Venice... it wouldn't have happened had it not been for his bucket list! That's the point of it! Mine has made my life so much better and now I'm able to take in the things he was talking about! But he was a great speaker I liked listening to him either way!
Thaaaat hurts... just typed a long thing out about how strongly I relate to a part he mentioned around 11:25. Then it crashed and I lost it and don't feel like retyping all of it. Fuck. Ah well. Basically I said I had a point where everything in my life was too.... picture 20 songs, each from a different genre, all playing at the same, full volume, at the same time. That's what my mind felt like sometimes. So I went to the woods and found quiet.
I think doing bucket lists is really useful, they help you understand that you really want to do in your life, but peoples don't should to think bucket list is the most important list of doing in their life because Majority of actions from bucket list is fully abstract. Therefore majority of peoples can't doing this actions in all life.
I would have loved to had him reading every article he ever wrote...but then again when i read his travelogues i hear his voice. He is so captivating etc. Not because he is acting but is living.
Have you ever had the doors on your elevator suddenly held back by an Indonesian cougar wanting to know which floor you were on? Or had a Chinese lady accost you at a mall bookstore with her friend translating that she wanted you to be her boyfriend? Ha!
Edward passed away this past week. He was my neighbor, my friend and an inspiration to so many. Thank you Edward.
i am sorry for your loss. this was a wonderful talk - thank you for being a friend of Edward's
great talk
very sad to hear of his passing, what a great man.
I hope he'd chosen the plane coffin. May God be with his friends and family. 💖
So sorry. This was such a great talk. He brought such humor and a wonderful perspective to this subject. I'm sure he's having many Oslo days now.
Probably one of the most underrated talks, rest in peace Edward

I'll add "killing my bucket list" to my bucket list

O I didn't realize that live in the moment sums up his talk. It brought me to tears. And joy. You?
Every time I listen to Edward, I run through every emotion known to mankind. I would have loved to have known him.
From all the ted talks I have watched, this one is truly making an impact on me, especially the meaning of "live everyday as if it were the last" !

Gotta have a bucket list, you gotta have a reason to keep going!!

I also believe in life before death.
Excellent TED talk. Thank you!

Memory eternal
Awesome !
so much i want to say in my comment but there is only one to say.... Thank you Edward.
Wowww! What a talk!!!

Wow very powerful...
This video made me inspired to make my own video about my bucket list...
Wow... just what I needed to hear...
Wow, thank you
I totally agree that the bucket list thing is weird as hell!! Has never set well with me.
one of the most amazing videos, i have watched in Pandemic times....
hahahha
At the note-humming part I paused and hummed into my sound analyzer and it said F#.
Try following ‘Itchy Boots’ on UA-cam. This woman lives the life Edward describes .
💖
RIP Eddward❤
I'm from Asolo
this was epic
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
wow...
❤️
Was that Larry David at 10.58?
What did he die from?
wow
His opening line was so funny 😂 he should be an actor
I would have loved to had him reading every article he ever wrote...but then again when i read his travelogues i hear his voice. He is so captivating etc. Not because he is acting but is living.
So, the whole point is that throw out the bucketlist, right? So, what abt ambitions/dreams..Don't they matter?
So you missed the whole point? Do things all the time enjoy life, don't turn it into a checklist.
@@stevewalston7089 Oh!!! Thank you for explaining 🎀❤
Что такое бакет лист
Does anyone get a Niles Crain vibe from this man or is it just me?
This guy's sarcasm is like how a typical-sarcastic-millenial speaks.
Have you ever had the doors on your elevator suddenly held back by an Indonesian cougar wanting to know which floor you were on? Or had a Chinese lady accost you at a mall bookstore with her friend translating that she wanted you to be her boyfriend? Ha!
Nah.
