“Gilbert's argument that creativity is not about suffering but about curiosity and permission is something Brown has endorsed as a counter-narrative to perfectionism. She has discussed it on Unlocking Us as a book that gave her language for the creative process she observes in her research participants.”
“Gilbert's framing of creative fear as a hitchhiker rather than a gatekeeper resonates with Robbins's audience of people who've shelved a project or idea for years. Robbins recommends it for anyone who thinks they're not creative enough to pursue something meaningful.”
“Elizabeth Gilbert's account of creativity as a negotiation with ideas that want to exist. The book is less prescriptive than King or Lamott — it is closer to a philosophy of making. Its most useful contribution is the argument that curiosity, not passion, is the more sustainable motivator.”
