Baba Shiv: Sometimes it’s good to give up the driver’s seat

Posted by

http://www.ted.com Over the years, research has shown a counterintuitive fact about human nature: That sometimes, having too much choice makes us less happy. This may even be true when it comes to medical treatment. Baba Shiv shares a fascinating study that measures why choice opens the door to doubt, and suggests that ceding control — especially on life-or-death decisions — may be the best thing for us.

More Than A History Lesson (COPPER Making Of)

“The thing that actually attracts me to it the most isn’t the fact that it’s a period piece, it’s the fact that the people are so interesting.”

So says Tom Weston-Jones (MI-5), star of COPPER., in this exclusive look behind the badge of BBC America’s all new original series.

Hear from stars Franka Potente (The Bourne Supremacy, Run Lola Run) and Anastasia Griffith (Royal Pains, Damages) – about how this gripping cop drama is more than an 1860s period piece.

Says Series Co-Creator and Executive Producer, Emmy® Award-Winner Tom Fontana (Homicide: Life on the Streets, Oz): “I think the characters and the performance by the actors are compelling enough to hold your interest.”

COPPER is a gripping cop drama set in 1860s New York City, and centers on Kevin Corcoran, an intense, rugged Irish-immigrant cop working the city’s notorious Five Points neighborhood. Corcoran is struggling to maintain his moral compass in a turbulent world while on an emotional and relentless quest to learn the truth about the disappearance of his wife and the death of his daughter.
