The Element
How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything
About the book
Ken Robinson's account of talent and passion, written with Lou Aronica, defines the Element as the point where natural ability meets personal passion, and where people feel most themselves and do their best work. Robinson draws on the stories of Paul McCartney, Simpsons creator Matt Groening, choreographer Gillian Lynne, physicist Richard Feynman, Arianna Huffington and others, including business leaders and athletes. He examines the conditions that help people find their Element and those that block it, stressing the diversity of intelligence, imagination and creativity, and commitment to one's own abilities. Age and occupation, he argues, are no barrier, and the idea matters for education, business and communities alike. It became a New York Times best seller.
Explorer Junior co-founder Ng Rong Xin read it during a first job after college and credits it with the decision to start that company.

Ng Rong Xin (Co-Founder/Explorer Junior)
I read this book the year I graduated from college and was in my first job. It was a game-changer because it was after I read the book that I decided to take a plunge to start Explorer Junior, my start-up.
