Teresa's work was referenced in an article I was reading for post grad study. Being able to hear her explain her ideas in person was delightful. It's lovely to read the publications of scholars like this and then be able to get a real sense of the person. Thank you very much!

As a musician! I love the way Teresa Amabile describes intrinsic Motivation in creativity and periods of Dryness which has happened to me as well with Composition! Also reminds me of Robert Schumann who composed so much and also had dry periods of creativity! Hope i continue with my intrinsic motivation and create out of enjoyment more music in the future! 👍 🎸 🎹 🥁 🎤

The irony of theorizing creativity. Plus the pursuit of motivation is a scam.
