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.

This has changed my life twice

I love his humor and stories...a d I have rediscovered this audiobook now right at the right moment. I have rediscovered my Element several times and now keep pulling away from other work and need this reminder as to why.

Find the proper start

Finding the Element has clarified much for me regarding Myers-briggs and 4 Temperaments, which people are increasingly finding accurate. In addition, identifying and dealing with the distractions while pursuing that is true to oneself sets an efficient course in life.

Finished in three days!

Great audio book! It was very hard to stop listening and participate in the exercises listed but it was well worth it.

This will be a repeat listen for me.

good enough

if you've never read a self-help book before, this is as good a place as any to start start. if you have, it's just more of the same. I did appreciate the exercise driven approach however the anecdotes seemed to just be there to fill space.
