Elizabeth Gilbert on Creative Genius

Posted in Creativity on February 18, 2009

Elisabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Pray, Love speaks about the idea that creativity, while something that comes from within a person, can also be seen as something divine. It’s an interesting talk regardless of your spiritual beliefs. I find especially useful the idea that you don’t have to be scared of creative failure and that creativity can come from a place of happiness as opposed to always being linked to negativity.

About Me (D. Keith Robinson)

I’ve owned my small business, Seattle-based design agency Blue Flavor, since the Fall of 2005. In that time I've learned quite a bit about running a business and made more than my share of mistakes. I talk about all of that and more here at Happy Masochist. Grab the RSS feed.
