Publisher's Summary

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.

Inspiring

I liked this book a lot as it gave some good points in finding your element, however a pdf of all the exercises and websites would be a great addition as it's annoying to hear the narrator "spell out" the websites and to also stop the narration to bookmark every exercise.

not for audio

I wish I could return this book. It needs to be bought in paper copy to take full advandatge of it or there needs to be a really good pdf. It is probably a really good workbook and this is how it should be advertised.

A first step to understanding who you really are!

This book helped me reflect on different areas of my life and gave me concrete tools to figure out who I really want to be. Read it! You won’t regret it!

inspiring.

this book is exactly what I need to hear when I get ground down by my current job. I'm planning on a jailbreak and this title is a bunch of bedsheets tied together and thrown out a window.

Too long winded

Found that there too many long winded side bar examples. The book can be condensed considerably. This led to me losing focus /interest several times
