Maxwell takes a closer look at failure - and reveals that the secret of moving beyond failure is to use it as a lesson and a stepping-stone. He covers the top reasons people fail and shows how to master fear instead of being mastered by it. Listeners will discover that positive benefits can accompany negative experiences - if you have the right attitude.

Publisher's Summary
The Element draws on the stories of a wide range of people: Paul McCartney; The Simpsons creator Matt Groening; Meg Ryan; Gillian Lynne, who choreographed the Broadway productions of Cats and The Phantom of the Opera; journalist Arianna Huffington; renowned physicist Richard Feynman; and many others, including business leaders and athletes. It explores the components of this new paradigm: the diversity of intelligence, the power of imagination and creativity, and the importance of commitment to our own capabilities.
With a wry sense of humor, Ken Robinson looks at the conditions that enable us to find ourselves in the Element and those that stifle that possibility. He shows that age and occupation are no barrier and that once we have found our path, we can help others do so as well. The Element shows the vital need to enhance creativity and innovation by thinking differently about human resources and imagination. It is an essential strategy for transforming education, business, and communities to meet the challenges of living and succeeding in the 21st century.
What the critics say
" The Element offers life-altering insights about the discovery of your true best self." (Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People)

Love Ken Robinson, I'm all in on the premise
That said, I struggle with the evolution from "here's the issue, and here is a good, long list of people who beat the odds and stepped into their elements" ... to finding my own path ... to my own element.
I've also downloaded the guide book so I'm looking forward to seeing whether I can translate these stories of the success of others into my own story ... my capacity to understand my own element, to live my truth, to 'open' my gifts and to joyfully share them with my tribe.

Great book, a lot of info for educators
This was a good read and Ken is an entertaining story teller. It’s somewhat geared towards those in educational system but it contains knowledge everyone should have about the system’s shortcomings and about how to be better learners ourselves

A wonderful journey into what is passion
The Element teaches us that Elvis failed the auditions for a glee group and that no one noticed Paul McCartney had any musical talent. A great book, wonderfully written about what it is to find (in and outside of work) that which lights a twinkle in our eyes, giving us energy and will, and access to a whole new dimension in our potential as humans.

Outstanding
Sir Ken Robinson has been a hero of mine since I first saw his TED talk. This book is like an expanded version of that talk and was just as poignant, humourous, inspiring.

A spectacular and insightful listen.
The stories and lessons told in this book are invaluable for anybody who has ever been told they are the odd ones out. The tales of hyper successful individuals finding their Element puts a new perspective on anybody who lost theirs as they grew older.
