Gilbert’s expressiveness and talent for public speaking has seen her TED talk amass over 10 million views and she is widely listened to via podcast. Her latest book, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear, is a manifesto on how to cultivate and use our imaginations. Don’t miss Gilbert in this exclusive one hour event focused on how to live the most creative life possible, presented by Auckland Writers Festival and Auckland Live, in association with Bloomsbury Publishing.
