The psychology of forgetting yourself: Peder Berggren at TEDxSSE

When his grandfather's memory began to fade, Peder Berggren was surprised to discover a new side of his grandfather that was somehow beautiful and triumphant.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
