- Richard St. John
A self-described average guy who found success doing what he loved, Richard St. John spent more than a decade researching the lessons of success -- and distilling them into 8 words, 3 minutes and one successful book.
- Dan Dennett
Philosopher and scientist Dan Dennett argues that human consciousness and free will are the result of physical processes and are not what we traditionally think they are. His 2003 book Freedom Evolves explores the way our brains have evolved to give us -- and only us -- the kind of freedom that matters, while 2006's Breaking the Spell examines religious belief through the lens of biology.
He's got many interesting ideas, although his view on religion are somewhat controversial, but can be applied to thought in general
- Ze Frank
Ze Frank rose to Internet fame in 2001 with his viral video “How to Dance Properly,” and has been making online comedy and web toys ever since. The Show With Ze Frank drew thousands of viewers daily during its recent year-long run.
- Steven Pinker
Linguist Steven Pinker questions the very nature of our thoughts -- the way we use words, how we learn, and how we relate to others. In his best-selling books, he has brought sophisticated language analysis to bear on topics of wide general interest.
I see you posted the talk about violence... well, I like the one about language better, but I'm biased 
- Richard Dawkins
Oxford professor Richard Dawkins has helped steer evolutionary science into the 21st century, and his concept of the "meme" contextualized the spread of ideas in the information age. In recent years, his devastating critique of religion has made him a leading figure in the New Atheism.
Unless you're into atheism, skip to the second talk - it's really great.
