One that really caught my ear recently is by the author of the enormously successful book "Eat, Pray, Love" - Elizabeth Gilbert (that book is on my shelf and now I REALLY want to read it!). Here's the gist of her talk:
Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.
It truly is. I love the story of the poet chasing the poem...Enjoy:
Also, as a related aside, if you want to laugh see John Hodgman's brief digression on matters of lost time:
