Stuart Vyse is the Joanne Toor Cummings '50 Professor of Psychology at Connecticut College and an expert on irrational behavior. His first book, Believing in Magic: The Psychology of Superstition, won the William James Book Award of the American Psychological Association. His most recent book, Going Broke: Why Americans Can't Hold On To Their Money, is an analysis of the current epidemic of personal debt. A new edition of Believing in Magic was published in time for the superstitious year of 2013. In addition, Professor Vyse has published opinion pieces in a variety of publications and blogs sporadically for Psychology Today.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
