Finding Your Element

A follow-up to The Element, the practical guide by Ken Robinson and Lou Aronica sets out to help readers find the point where natural aptitudes and passions meet. Robinson draws on stories from his own experience and from people in many walks of life to explore the diversity of intelligence and the force of imagination and creativity. Some found fame, like the sailor Ellen McArthur, who grew up in a landlocked former mining town; many are ordinary readers of the first book, such as a computer engineer who found fulfilment as a magician. Tools, techniques and resources for spotting abilities and chances for change are included, and Robinson argues that age and occupation are no barrier.
