Elizabeth Gilbert is the author of Eat, Pray, Love, which I read this past year and really loved.  It’s funny, touching, deep (at times profound), fascinating and really funny (or did I already say that).  In it Gilbert shares incredibly vulnerably about her journey of emotional and spiritual growth.

Gilbert recently spoke at the TED Conference, an annual conference about ideas.  Her short talk (I think all talks at the TED Conference have to be under twenty minutes) is about a different way to think about creative genius.  It’s funny, fascinating and touching (kind of like Eat, Pray, Love, huh?).  Enjoy!

(Quick side note:  many of the talks from this year’s TED Conference are available online for free.  Some of the smartest, most interesting people from around the world shared their ideas.  Perhaps give yourself a personal development gift by carving out some time to watch one, two or ten talks.)
