Elizabeth Gilbert On Nurturing Creativity

Check out one of my favorite TED Talks. I saw Elizabeth speak live in Portland at The Merrill Auditorium and she’s a great creative inspiration for me.

Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses — and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person “being” a genius, all of us “have” a genius. It’s a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.

The author of Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert has thought long and hard about some large topics. Her next fascination: genius, and how we ruin it.

Her website is here and you can also view this video on TED

The video runs about 20 minutes, but stay with it, it’s a great talk for any creative artist to hear.
