John Cleese on Creativity

Today, instead of a big long essay I wrote, I thought I’d try something different and share a big long video I found.* Well, assuming this isn’t one of those things that everybody’s seen but me.

For those of you unfamiliar with the above, it’s a presentation that John Cleese gave back in the day about creativity. Specifically, how “you” can make your life more creative.

I won’t bother explaining who John Cleese is, or why his opinion on creativity is one you should be taking seriously. All I’ll say is that a lot of us (all of us?) here on the site have creative side projects, and presumably a lot of you guys do, too, and pretty much everybody could benefit from what Cleese has to say here. Check it out.
