There are more than a million blog posts out there about TED talks (yes, I I checked).
It was not my plan to add another, but I came across Sasha Dichter’s A touch of genius post on Elizabeth Gilbert’s talk, and here I am.
Because we could do with less anguish about our creativity, couldn’t we? Or a better explanation for “the utter maddening capriciousness of the creative process”:
Elizabeth Gilbert: A different way to think about creative genius
She changed her way of thinking and found peace instead of anguish in the aftermath of her creative success . Whether the genious exists internally within her…or an external god-like entity provides her with creative thoughts……I admire her ability to open her mind and
accept a concept so intangible. I like her.
