This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Dr. Crum says the biggest game changer is “YOU, by harnessing the power of your mind." She explores scientific results that show the influence of the mindset on the body, and how changing the subjective mindset produced different outcomes. Dr. Crum's work is inspired in part by the placebo effect, and has implications that stretch far beyond the realm of medicine.
Dr. Crum is a professor, psychologist, and researcher investigating how mindsets affect health and behavior.
Dr. Crum's research focuses on how changes in subjective mindsets—the lenses through which information is perceived, organized, and interpreted—can alter objective reality through behavioral, psychological, and physiological mechanisms. Her work is, in part, inspired by research on the placebo effect, a notable and consistent demonstration of the ability of the mindset to elicit healing properties in the body. She is interested in understanding how mindsets affect important outcomes outside the realm of medicine, in the domains of behavioral health and organizational behavior.

Yeah, she’s nervous. Who wouldn’t be?!?! I admire her for feeling the fear and doing it anyway. How courageous! No matter what negativity you find in this comment section, rest assured that you treaded on ground that few of us would attempt and did a great job. You’re showing what we all must do……lean into our vulnerabilities and fears. Thumbs up from me.
Well said!
wouldn’t,idts
nn
I thought she wasn’t used to speaking too loudly, and that’s why her voice sounded like that. Honestly, it was getting on my nerves, but then I read this comment and reflected on my own experiences like this and I kept watching. So yeah, it takes courage to go out there are give a talk like this one. Great talk
Anxiety? Nervousness? .. no, that is humility. This is what happens when the audience matters to the speaker. Well done Dr. Crum.
Iasso Well said, my friend. 🙂
It can be both, you know. She’s clearly nervous.
Iasso no… this is what happens when you know that what you’re presenting as your own is an ages old knowledge, nd you don’t make reference to it… but even like that, she’s going out on a limb by reminding us of that truth, I’ll give her that…
agree. all that name dropping and showing off (1st class athlete) to further her career in a clickbait entitled presentation would make me nervous as well… oh well, that’s life right?
From the way she articulated her speech whilst holding a strong composure on stage, I would say (in my mindset) she appears to embody an excited energy with pure passion for her work and findings, rather than a nervous disposition or lack of confidence. She’s clearly Pumped!
I love how she is nervous, but is owning the whole thing. She’s not talking to fast, or pausing heaps. Still delivering all the information really well. I learned a lot! She’s proving mind over matter here. Great knowledge.
Vegan Life Change she didn’t seem nervous to me
Exactly what I was thinking. Her nervousness is in her stumbling words and voice shakiness
I wanted to listen but I had to change it her nervousness was distracting
Alia, if i know about the effect , won’t i tend to discount its usefulness ??
I felt the same! she is so cute but totally professional!!
she is owning the show although she is totally nervous! I would shake like a meadow on a stage like that! cudos to her and awesome content!
She’s nervous but doing it anyway. Wow!
Lessons:
Never allow fear paralyze you
Go ahead, do it afraid, hands trembling, feet shaking but keep on your motion.
I ❤️ her, she’s a clear definition of “I CAN’T BE STOPPED”. Only if we can all approach life then s way!
Great presentation here 👏 👏 👏
Hi joy,
I am Mustafa Alam. I am from India.
Uuum you want her to be nervous, watch all her other videos out of jealousy… That’s how she talks normally
Thank you, for your presentation, loving everything you are saying. You sure did awesome job!👏🌹
you all already paralyzed
This may be my favorite TED ever. She did a great job period, even tho she was nervous. I noticed her nervousness was nearly gone after she showed the stress video. She had time to collect herself and say “you’re owning this” and it frees her. Awesome job.
Wow. Brought tears to my eyes. She is going to change the world. With all that passion and compassion. You go girl!
Her performance of her speech is based on her topic. If you can change your mindset and keep control of your mind, you can do literally everything you thought you couldn’t. She is battling great fear,doubt, and anxiety on that stage, because doing a Ted talk in front of a large audience is intimidating. But she toughs it out and gets more comfortable and more in control. This is inspirational, salute to this woman and her courage to change and control her mindset in a intimidating situation.
She used stress in her breathing to motivate the message. You did an AMAZING job young lady and helped demystify the truth about how our thoughts shape our own world. A+
What an amazing TED talk and what an inspiring young researcher! Cannot wait to hear more from her and her work! Plus, I hope with all the positive feedback, she will not feel nervous anymore next time she gives a TED talk 🙂
Just beautiful – the whole thing about this talk, the delivery, the content, the pace. Absolutely amazing presentation ♥️
Her courage through the nervouseness has given me so much courage to do my presentations over the past few years, since I first watched this TED Talk. Thank you, Dr. Alia Crum!!!

Thank you for sharing the times. So helpful.
the solution to all cruelty is simple if everyone can get a good night sleep we will all awaken bright-eyed bushytailed battle ready to deal with making certain children have bicycles to work there little legs all day so they get a good night sleep then will all get a good night sleep and awaken peaceful
Be positive
A lot of respect for being nervous and how she kept going and stayed strong
.
Is her voice slippery because of nervousness or her voice is like that?
@Hamza M nevers
This was an example of a perfectly-executed tedtalk that was not only informative but straight to the point! She did amazing!
This TED talk was amazing, she was so clear and I was hooked at every word she said! Great job and really interesting
The placebo effect just scientifically proves how powerful our minds are. She was awesome! 👏
I am drawn even more to her presentation simply because she kept going and finished sharing her message! This is one of my favorite Tedtalks of all time 🎉 thank you
So refreshing to see someone struggle through the nervousness and still proceed. I feel this type of realness is what everybody yearns for in this era of being bombarded by perfection.
This might be the best TEDx Talk I have seen, thus far. It’s well written, as are many others, but the way that she delivers the speech and information is incredible. Hearing the nervousness in her breath while delivering such a powerful and informative message really adds to this speech. She is actively doing what she is speaking about and putting mindset over fear/doubt. Great job.
one of the best talks I ever watched! Well done Dr. Alia👏 I appreciate and respect that she mentioned the names of her colleagues and other researchers, such a nice and respectful gesture😌
