How do you define creativity? Writer Elizabeth Gilbert stumbled on a new answer to this question during a public conversation event with spirituality expert Deepak Chopra.
Chopra shared this observation: “All creativity is a break in logic.” Gilbert reported this discovery on her Facebook page and compared the act of succumbing to creative impulses to falling in love, forgiveness, faith, and “all the good stuff, in other words.” Do you agree?
Gilbert regularly engages with her fans in discussions about creativity through her social media pages. This study in creativity lead her to write a new book called Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear. Riverhead Books, a Penguin Random House imprint, has scheduled the release date for September 22nd.
Deepak Chopra and his brother Sanjiv Chopra have sold their memoir to Amazon’s New York City publishing imprint in a major ($500,000 or higher) deal. Brotherhood: A Tale of Faith, Big Dreams, and the Power of Persistence.
Trident Media Group chairman Robert Gottlieb negotiated the deal with Amazon’s Larry Kirshbaum and David Moldawer. Gottlieb added: “I am delighted that Amazon, Deepak and Sanjiv Chopra are in business together in a major book deal that is a game-changer for the publishing industry.”
This is Trident’s second major deal with Amazon. Last month, Amazon reportedly paid $800,000 for a memoir from Penny Marshall, the Laverne & Shirley star and director.
