"Big Think gives me smart and grounded insights with real life action and values. Not just influencer BS."

"My top value in life is curiosity. And Big Think is one of the top ways I exercise that value, allowing my brain to wander, think of new things (or the same things new ways — extra credit!). Very thankful for what you all have built & are continuing to build."

"Big Think makes me feel smart in the same way having copies of The Atlantic and The New Yorker on my coffee table makes me feel smart. Kidding! (mostly?)"

"Big Think keeps me thinking. About both the issues and subjects I like. and the ones that scare me!"

"I love how much ya'll value NUANCE"

"This channel is one of the rare gems on YouTube — quality, passion, and effort shine through every second."

"I am so thankful for all these Interviews. I am seriously indebted to this channel for my personal growth."

"This YouTube channel goes beyond sharing incredible, practical, and valuable content—it helps shape the very foundation of meaning and understanding in daily life. That's why we truly need more channels like this."

"I just wanted to mention that the design and quality you folks are producing here is amazing: One really notices how much love and attention to detail you are applying to the print issue, and I love it."

"Big Think Classes provide very practical and useful insight, thought provoking questions to ask oneself, and knowledge that can be leveraged for continuous improvement and growth."

"Love the topics and that they are in a bite-sized form that can be consumed within the course of my very busy day!"

"The sessions have genuinely helped me grow in my career by enhancing my perspective, sharpening my leadership skills, and encouraging strategic thinking."

"I've been a fan of Big Think for a while, but their new print edition completely won me over. It's beautiful, thoughtful, and exactly the kind of project I love having in my hands."

"I recently received your print edition and it was such a joy to hold in my hands. I savoured the words and the thoughts behind the articles, and I really loved how you painted resilience through science and poetry."

"This is the longest video I have ever watched all the way through on YouTube. And now I want to watch again. So many great ideas to ponder and try!"
