Elise Hu introduces the first-ever TED Talks Daily playlist, featuring her top 10 TED Talks. The playlist begins with Dan Gilbert's 2014 talk, "The Psychology of Your Future Self," which explores the concept that people underestimate how much their values, personalities, and preferences will change over time, leading to the "end of history illusion."

The episode concludes with a preview of the next talk by Shankar Vedantam and information about the TED Audio Collective.
