From one of the world's leading thinkers and speakers on creativity and self-fulfillment, a breakthrough book about talent, passion, and achievementThe 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 Elementdraws 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.

Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People “Ken Robinson presents the theme of creativity and innovation in a way that makes you want to go out and make your dreams a reality.

It’s been said that an unexamined life is not worth living. True enough and Ken Robinson doesn’t let us off the hook. After the first page, you have to abandon your ego and look for your own gifts and graces.” —Warren Bennis, author of On Becoming a Leader: The Leadership Classic “Robinson (Out of Our Minds), renowned in the areas of creativity development, innovation, and human resources, tackles the challenge of determining and pursuing work that is aligned with individual talents and passions to achieve well-being and success. Motivating and persuasive, this entertaining and inspiring book will appeal to a wide audience.” —Publishers Weekly “Ken Robinson is a remarkable man, one of the few who really look at and into you, so he makes you feel at ease and happy. I’m proud to be in his book as one of the people he feels attained the Element. Reading his book helps you pinpoint the search we must all make to achieve the best in us.” —Gillian Lynne, choreographer, Cats and The Phantom of the Opera “While the world is changing faster than ever, our organizations, our schools, and too often our minds are locked in the habits of the past. The result is a massive waste of human talent. The Element is a passionate and persuasive appeal to think differently about ourselves and how to face the future.” —Alvin Toffler, author of The Future Shock “A brilliant and compelling look at creativity, and the path to succeed in the global world of tomorrow.” —Harry Lodge, co-author of Younger Next Year Most Helpful Customer Reviews Format: Hardcover I first learned of Sir Ken Robinson through watching his lecture "Do Schools Kill Creativity" free on the Internet last year (his talks have been viewed millions of times by people across the world). In that talk he mentions he was in the process of writing a book -- THE ELEMENT: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything -- is that book. I was thrilled to be able to attend a lecture, one of the first stops on the book tour to promote this book and was so inspired I bought the book immediately. This book's audience is every person in the world, every single one of us could benefit from reading and applying the information in this book. In addition to being about changes that a person can make in their own life during adulthood, the book also speaks to teachers and other adults who are involved in educating children. People interested in learning styles, learning disabilities, alternative education and education reform may be interested in this book. All types of artists and creative people may like to read THE ELEMENT. The books starts off discussing children, how all children are unique, have certain interests and natural talents; have an inborn curiosity and a capacity to learn. Sadly, school is sometimes a place where some children are stifled and changed for the worse. Despite best intentions by society for children `to become educated', the issues with designing a `one size fits all' curriculum for mass institutional schools creates its own set of problems. In an effort to raise everyone's educational level up, some fall through the cracks, or their square pegs don't fit in the round holes. The way modern schooling is conducted damages some children. Attempts to educate all children to one standard plan does not allow all children with varying natural talents to shine. Read more › XEM THÊM TẠI AMAZON.COM

ELEMENT je točka u kojoj se prirodna darovitost sastaje s osobnom strašću. Kad su ljudi u elementu, najsnažnije osjećaju da su upravo ono što jesu, duboko su nadahnuti i postižu uspjehe na svojim najvišim razinama. Knjiga "Element" temelji se na pričama različitih ljudi: Paula McCartneyja, tvorca Simpsona Matta Groeninga, Meg Ryan, novinarke Arianne Huffington, glasovitog fizičara Richarda Feynmana i mnogih drugih, uključujući istaknute poslovne ljude i sportaše. Uz vragolast smisao za humor, Ken Robinson razmatra uvjete koji nam omogućuju biti u elementu i one koji guše tu mogućnost. Pokazuje nam da dob i zanimanje nisu prepreke te da, pronašavši svoj put, možemo i drugima pomagati da pronađu svoj. "Element" ističe presudnu potrebu unapređivanja kreativnosti i inovativnosti putem drugačijeg razmišljanja o ljudskim sposobnostima, inteligenciji, mašti, talentima te drugačijeg promišljanja vlastite unikatnosti. Ujedno kreira osnovnu strategiju za promjenu obrazovnog sustava, poslovnog svijeta i društva uopće s ciljem uspješnog suočavanja s izazovima življenja i ostvarivanja uspjeha u dvadeset i prvom stoljeću.
