Synopsis

Sir Ken Robinson's groundbreaking book The Element introduced listeners to a new concept of self-fulfillment through the convergence of natural talents and personal passions. The Element has inspired people all over the world and has created for Robinson an intensely devoted following. Now comes the long-awaited companion, the practical guide that helps people find their own Element. Among the questions that this new book answers are:

• How do I find out what my talents and passions are?

• What if I love something I'm not good at?

• What if I'm good at something I don't love?

• What if I can't make a living from my Element?

• How do I do help my children find their Element?

Finding Your Element comes at a critical time, as concerns about the economy, education, and the environment continue to grow. The need to connect to our personal talents and passions has never been greater. As Robinson writes in his introduction, wherever you are, whatever you do, and no matter how old you are, if you're searching for your Element, this book is for you.

Goodreads review by Gary on June 13, 2013

I stumbled on to the books of Ken Robinson in the way that thousands of others probably have: through his wildly popular TED Talks. His easy-going speaking style and gentle sense of humor serve the topic of self-discovery particularly well. In Finding Your Element, you’ll find a writing style that c......more

Goodreads review by Frank on August 19, 2022

Takeaways from reading the book: What is a story of a person, who found his element? Page 72: Hans Zimmer, who composed music for over 150 films including The Lion King, was a problem pupil of every school he attended. He went to 5 schools and was, as he put it himself, "thrown out" of all of them. He......more

I've found my element (passion and purpose) after reading the book (in 1 day). The book has a very easy flowing style and a smart structure, plus without difficult therms which we all hate. The only minus is - we all already know our so called 'Element'. Otherwise would it be so easy for me to find......more
