Title: The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything
Author: Sir Ken Robinson
Genre: Creativity, Motivation, Non-fiction
Why The Element is a Red Hot Read: To get a flavor of Sir Ken Robinson, you can check out the videos of his TED talks – Do Schools Kill Creativity? and Bring on the Learning Revolution. He’s probably one of the few humorous Brits I’ve ever been exposed to. He lives in Southern California now, which may have helped him become even more laid back :-). Regardless, Robinson is considered an expert on creativity and innovation. In The Element, he discusses why it’s important for each of us to work to discover our own “element.” Although many of his examples are about the big and famous folks, he gives the common woman hope that she too can find and excel in her element.
