Give yourself permission to be creative | Ethan Hawke (re-release)

This TED Talks Daily podcast features actor Ethan Hawke discussing the importance of creativity. Hawke argues that engaging with one's creative side is not just a pleasant pastime but a vital act of self-discovery and connection. He illustrates this with anecdotes about Allen Ginsberg, his own experiences as an actor, his great-grandmother, and his stepbrother's military career, emphasizing that creativity is a fundamental aspect of human nature and a means of understanding oneself and connecting with others. He encourages listeners to embrace their passions, overcome the fear of being perceived as foolish, and express themselves to foster healing and community.
