This talk was inspiring and also very interesting as it explains to you how you can gain 10 extra years of life over a long period of time by doing very simple tasks that only take a couple of minutes everyday. Jane talks about a hard time where she was depressed due to an brain injury and she was suicidal, this showed real strength to talk about this to hundreds of people and it showed how much she has changed and how strong she is, i thought that was very inspiring. I found this interesting as Jane tells us how simple things can make you happy and positive, give you the strength to get through tough times and have fun while doing these things. She tells us the 5 wishes that people make on their death beds, at the end she give the results of the 5 changes people say that have happened to their lifes after doing these challenges everyday. They all are the opposite of the death bed wishes.

I would recomend this video because it is very interesting and Jane is an inspiring woman, by wastching this it might give someone else the strenght to get better from an illness. Also it tells you hiow to gain 10 extra hours to your life, i think everyone would be willing to do these 4 simple tasks everyday that only take minutes to add time to their life span. This talk as well shows people how to be happier with their lifes and not have any regrets, most people long for happiness and this video might be the answer they need to achieve it.
