A reply on Talk: Jay Walker on the world's English mania
More importantly they might actually agree. If there is no common denomiator, no common ground to start from, there is no chance of reaching an agreement.
If I just spoke German, and you your native language, this conversation right here could not happen, we could not disagree, but ultimately there would be no chance to ageeing would there?
We got this thrive for perfection, bad thing is there usually is no perfect solution, just in the spirit of natural selection an evolvement of things that get better.
A comment on Talk: Elizabeth Gilbert on nurturing creativity
I feel like it is basically an application of Positive Psychology.
What she is basically saying is that creative people should change their explanatory style so that they somewhat externalize why and what happenes with their creative outcome.
I don't think we can change it society wide simply because to most people it will sound like a very weird concept(and I don't really agree with it either) But for someone in the same shoes -- and im not only talking about people in creative processes but people generally concerned with the outcome of their work and depression in general -- this or a variation of the very concept might work to easen the burden and thereby makes their live better.
If your interested in what I think makes this work for her from a psychological point of view I'd suggest the Book Authentic Happiness by Martin Seligman.
