Author Elizabeth GIlbert talks about creativity, especially fear of failure and success, and how to break through those and just be a creative person. Or as youtube puts it:
"Eat, Pray, Love" Author 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.
