With a wry sense of humour and a sense of optimism, Ken Robinson looks at the conditions that enable us to find ourselves in the element, and those that stifle that possibility.The late Sir Ken Robinson was one of my favourite TED speakers and a role model on combining humour with insights and wisdom about our behaviours and how to bring up children (and ourselves as Adults) to play to their and our element. 'The Element' draws on the stories of a wide range of people - from ex-Beatle Paul McCartney to renowned physicist Richard Feynman and many others, including business leaders and athletes - showing how all of them came to recognize their unique talents and were able to make a successful living doing what they love.

Whether it`s a child bored in class, an employee being misused or just someone who feels frustrated but can`t quite explain why, too many people don`t know what they are really capable of achieving.Education, business and society as a whole are losing out. Creativity expert Ken Robinson believes that we are all born with tremendous natural capacities, but that we lose touch with them as we spend more time in the world. This groundbreaking new book is all about how every one of us can find our element, connecting with our true talents and fulfilling our creative potential. The element is the point at which natural talent meets personal passion.
