Self-Help
From one of the world’s leading thinkers and speakers on
creativity and self-fulfillment, a breakthrough book about
talent, passion, and achievement The element is the point at which natural talent meets
personal passion. When people arrive at the element, they
feel most themselves and most inspired and achieve at their
highest levels. The Element draws on the stories of a wide
range of people, from ex-Beatle Paul McCartney to Matt
Groening, creator of The Simpsons; from Meg Ryan to Gillian
Lynne, who choreographed the Broadway productions of Cats
and The Phantom of the Opera; and from writer Arianna
Huffington to renowned physicist Richard Feynman and 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 to 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 also an essential strategy for transforming education,
business, and communities to meet the challenges of living
and succeeding in the twenty-first century.
