Best of TED 2009 – Elizabeth Gilbert: A different way to think about creative genius

My experience last week at TED was inspiring and humbling on many levels. There were so many incredible talks that it is hard to even put together a highlight post. But, one talk stood out above all of the rest and it looks like the TED Community whole heartedly agreed. Today the TED team posted Elizabeth Gilbert’s “A different way to think about creativity.” This talk is moving beyond words for anyone who lives the creative life every day.

Here it is. Enjoy.

Nice video. I'm a bit bothered by her equating fame with quality. That will be especially false as more people enter the creative class. More people making good work mean that wider popularity is harder.

The motivation for creating should be from within. Others enjoying it is also feels great.

Luckily, the result is the same. You should just work like hell at making something great. No need to get mystical though :P
