Ted Talks - Elizabeth Gilbert: author of "Eat, Pray, Love"
Elizabeth Gilbert talks about creativity, historically genius was a creative mystery. A comment is made in the postscript to the embedded movie that suggests that she may be talking about "flow". Where a person becomes so engrossed in what they are doing that everything else pales into insignificance. I find that when I am coming to terms with a new application or program on the computer. My weekends disappear as I engage with Twitter or my online learning as I fall deeply into the reading that I do for my MEd (Ed Tech.). She suggests that everyone is capable of finding the love and stubborness which motivates a person to continue in their endeavour to engage with their passion. In my case, with computers, web design and internet communities. I enjoyed what she had to say.
