Summary of Ken Robinson & Lou Aronica's Finding Your Element

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Your Element is something you have to find for yourself. It is a highly personal and often surprising process. It is based on the principles of communication and working with people. I had no idea what my Element was when I was younger, but I now know that it is communicating and working with people. #2 I was five years old and had a pronounced lisp. I was happy to sit quietly and take things in from the sidelines. I loved to make things and solve practical puzzles. I was placid and self-contained as a child, and did not have any fears or apprehensions about public speaking. #3 When you’re in your Element, your sense of time changes. If you’re doing something that you love, an hour can feel like five minutes; if you are doing something that you don’t, five minutes can feel like an hour. #4 To find your Element, you must explore both your own talents and passions, as well as opportunities in the world around you to fulfill them. You should try to practice each of these processes regularly because they will feed each other.
