In this TED-talk Elizabeth Gilbert redefines the concept of genius, portraying it as a collaborative effort between the artist and a divine muse. She suggests that genius is not solely an inherent quality possessed by a select few, but rather a force that seeks willing vessels. Gilbert encourages a shift in mindset that values curiosity, openness, and collaboration with inspiration, rather than an individual's burden to constantly produce extraordinary works. By embracing the idea of a muse as an external source of inspiration, Gilbert offers a more compassionate approach to creativity, freeing artists from the weight of expectation and inviting a more inclusive and joyful creative process.
