Listen Again: Why you don’t need a purpose to be creative with Elizabeth Gilbert

During our summer break, we are re-airing some of our favorite episodes.
In this live conversation recorded at Duke University, the indomitable Liz Gilbert (of EAT, PRAY, LOVE fame) joins Kate for a discussion about the courage to create. Listen as Liz helps us expose our exhausting American need to make everything useful and lets us embrace beauty as a way of really living.
In this episode, Kate and Liz discuss:
- Why we stop ourselves from being creative
- How we are all capable of making anything (badly! medium-well!)
- But how our creativity is best if it is for no reason whatsoever (not for impact or legacy or money or acknowledgement)
- How curiosity quiets fear and control
CW: some spicy adult language
