TIM URBAN
It's a myth that great writers are not great speakers. Tim Urban breaks that myth. By far one of the most interesting, informative and humourous writer/speaker. From AI to psychology, Apes to Elon Musk, History to Future, every topic he covers is so interesting. His humourous self depreciations and simple stick diagrams are pure icings on the cake. He boils down every topic into basic fundamentals and explains complex terms in a fun to learn simple way.

I fell in love with his writing after ' Why Gen Y Yuppies Are Unhappy '. I felt like I was reading about myself and realized how much more I can learn and explore. And what more you need, if your favorite writer is equally entertaining, if not more, when he speaks about topics that every individual can relate with. His talks make you want to keep listening to them again and again. His TED talk - inside the mind of a master procrastinator and on the topics Elon Musk, Mars and Artificial Intelligence are my personal favorites that I wish to keep hearing again and again.
