Suleika Jaouad says: "If you want to write a good book, write what you don't want others to know about you. But if you want to write a great book, write what you don't want to know about yourself."
She's had a lifelong love for words, ever since she was a little kid. She began writing for public consumption in her twenties, after being diagnosed with serious cancer. From her hospital bed, she started writing for The New York Times, which led to her memoir, "Between Two Kingdoms", and her book on creativity, "The Book of Alchemy".
What are the driving themes of our conversation?
How do you free yourself to be creative
How do you show up as your most unedited self on the page
How do you fight writer's block
How do you live with curiosity, wonder, and enchantment
How do you truly open your eyes to the world
This conversation will explore all of that.
