From Publishers Weekly
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. The element is what he identifies as the point where the activities individuals enjoy and are naturally good at come together. Offering a wide range of stories about the creative journeys of different people with diverse paths to the element—including Paul McCartney, The Alchemist author Paulo Coelho, and Vidal Sassoon as well as lesser-known examples—he demonstrates a rich vision of human ability and creativity. Covering such topics as the power of creativity, circles of influence, and attitude and aptitude, the author emphasizes the importance of nurturing talent along with developing an understanding of how talent expresses itself differently in every individual. Robinson emphasizes the importance of mentors and reforming and transforming education, making a convincing argument bolstered by solid strategies for honing creativity. Motivating and persuasive, this entertaining and inspiring book will appeal to a wide audience. (Jan.)

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.
I am especially into those inspiring stories described in the book. They are the best demonstrations of finding elements. I have realized that there is actual no shortcut to quickly and accurately find our element. We must go through sth and do reflections ...

評分"我采用“天命”二字,指称“喜欢做的事”与“擅长做的事”能够相互结合的境界。我深信每个人都有必要找到自身的天命归属,不只因为那让我们获得成就感,更是为了让人类社群与组织能够在不断演进的世界中永续发展。 I use the term the Element to describe the place ...

不是那麼切實可用...裏麵的方法要持續持續持續的做纔有用。都是屬於知道瞭道理依然不一定能過好一生的書。運用方法需要培養習慣。
评分觀念是好的,但真的很空泛,看完瞭除瞭知道很多成功人士孩提時期不受人待見外,對我有用的內容還是太少瞭。。。也就值得看個電子版吧,為什麼這麼多人4顆星???
评分Most inspiring!! 也許是機緣到瞭,這本書剛好就打開瞭我心中那把長期鎖著的門。換作一年,兩年或者5年前,我或許都會和這本書的震撼力錯開。有些說法雖早已被許多人反復當作口號喊過,他是第一個從令我意想不到的方麵提供證據,令我信服的。讀書如識人,能否掏心成知己不全在於品和質,也取決於緣分
评分2014-5-28;一些人的例子,還是很有意思的。對於怎麼找到the element,還是沒說清楚。
评分Sir Ken Robinson還是公眾演講更精彩。
