![]() ![]() I highly recommend recommend The Element to anyone interested in learning about the power of inner drive and how leverage the power of our passions to live a fulfilling life. Robinson defines the Element as a “point at which natural talent meets personal passion.” He explains that by understanding our talents and connecting them to our deepest interests, we can discover an area of life where we are most likely to succeed. ![]() With this book, Robinson hopes to empower readers to take the leap and unlock their creativity, purpose and passion. His main message is that it is never too late to find our element and make the changes necessary to reach our true potential. Sir Ken Robinson, the author of Finding Your Element, likes to talk about three things: creativity, uncertainty and the immense capabilities of children. Through personal anecdotes, inspiring stories of those who have succeeded by following their passions, useful exercises and thoughtful advice, Robinson helps readers identify their own element and provides them with the tools to create a more meaningful and fulfilling life. He also provides advice on how to nurture and develop these elements in ourselves and in our communities. He examines the nature of passion, talent, creativity, and risk-taking, as well as guides on how to pursue one’s passions even if it means going against societal norms. Ken dives deep into how we can find our element and change the paths of our lives. ![]()
