Ignite talks are are short five minute presentations using 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds. The talks cover a wide range of topics.
Tim O’Reilly, founder of O’Reilly Media, explains how what he learned from the Human Potential Movement of the 70’s has become the foundation of his business today.

He’s a brilliant speaker, and thinker, but even Bill seems rushed under the time constrains of an Ignite talk. The George Simon book Tim referenced is nearly impossible to find. However, if you’re interested, Tim published an article this year titled “Books That Have Shaped How I Think”.
