Your Elusive Creative Genius

As I was watching this Ted Talk, I was interested in the fact that she was talking about how after writing her book. People started coming up to her as if she were doomed. I don’t know why every time something big happens good or bad to someone everyone else thinks the world is supposed to stp for them. She also goes over how not just her being a writer but just overall people who create in whatever way are judged as if they have mental issues or drug and alcohol problems. She explains this is why she tries to keep a reasonable amount of space between her anxiety and creativity so she won’t have mental breakdowns and so forth. Too much pressure on one human alone starts killing them off due to stress. Some people can just waking up and randomly just start being creative but as for her she compares herself to a mull as someone who must have a set schedule by waking up at the same time everyday doing the same job over and over to e able to be creative. Even after all that she says one should just be stubborn enough to just keep showing up to work and keep pushing through. I think her central message about creativity would be, no matter how hard things get or how many people question your ability of you to do your job just keep pushing through but also allow yourself time and space to still have a life and don’t let your anxiety to take over. One question I have,would be what was her book about? Since it was so popular.
