amy tan talks about how things like childhood trauma or negative impacts could influence our creativity. examples of more darker influences are depression, psychosis, or temporal lobe seizures (which she experienced while writing her book). painter vincent van gogh went through these, she said. to a more mentally healthy person, they would view the artworks as much more creative since they are rarely exposed to it. creativity can also come from the universe in the form of hints and coincidences and they are often just right in front of our eyes, but we have not noticed them yet.
amy tan also says that uncertainty is a good thing and rather than be afraid of it, we should address is head-on since uncertainty allows us to think of more ideas and solutions for our problems.
