This week TED published a playlist called 10 Talks About the Beauty—and Difficulty—of Being Creative. Included in the playlist: David Kelley’s 2012 TED talk, “How To Build Your Creative Confidence,” and Tim Brown’s 2008 talk, “Tales of Creativity and Play.”

According to Brown, “There’s a powerful relationship between creative thinking and play. To learn about many examples you can try at home (and one that maybe you shouldn’t), watch “Tales of Creativity and Play.” Then watch David’s talk—and don’t miss the rest of the TED creativity playlist.”
