I really enjoyed this TED talk by J.J. Abrams. Key points that stood out for me:

  • Sometimes mystery is more important than knowledge
  • Mystery is the catalyst for imagination
  • Mystery offers Infinite possibility
  • A blank page is a mystery box
  • Stories are mystery boxes
  • The difference between what you think you’re getting vs what you’re really getting is often profound
  • The mystery box IS all of us – what is really inside of you?
