The Element is that exquisite point at which your natural talent melds with your personal passion. This groundbreaking new book shows how every one of us can find our Element, connecting with our true talents and fulfilling our creative potential. Creativity expert Ken Robinson believes that we are all born with tremendous natural capacities, but that we tend to lose touch with them. The Element draws on the illuminating stories of a wide range of people - many well known - showing how they came to lead a successful life doing what they love. With a wry sense of humour and optimism, he guides you in seizing opportunities that will enable you to live in your Element. He shows that age and occupation are no barrier, and that our best hope for the future is to develop a new paradigm of human capacity, ready to meet a new era of human existence.
