mcc's review against another edition
I was hoping this book would touch on 'how to find your passion', but instead it was just an argument on why it's so important to find your passion & the accompanying tribe that go with it, which I do not need any convincing of. It was full of examples of people whose passions have been freakishly clear from a young age - this is the exception and while cool, not at all helpful or interesting for the rest of us who are trying to find our 'Element' and didn't burst forth from the womb with it stamped on our foreheads.

Inspiring stories about people finding their passion, otherwise feels like it was ghostwritten by whoever writes all these "business/self-help" type books. I don't remember who recommended this.

Good sound points, but I'm not sure how helpful it is to me.
Definitely leaves me unimpressed with most school systems and the direction they're going in.
Listen to the audiobook instead of read, it's great being read by Ken Robinson, who is an awesome speaker.

Книгата ми хареса, макар и не толкова колкото очаквах. Четях я между другото, наред с други книги, защото макар и в началото да ме увлече, после започна да ми става леко досадна и еднообразна. Не научих нещо кой знае колко ново, а десетките примери и истории ми дойдоха в повече, - още повече предвид факта, че невинаги конкретната история илюстрираше смислено и напълно адекватно идеята на автора.
Като цяло съм абсолютно съгласна с разбирането му за образованието и ми се иска тази книга да стане достояние на повече хора, заети в тази област.

I was surprised that I really liked this book! I was looking for something similar to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective people and came across this as a free E-book on the public library's site.
I think it's a great read for anyone trying figure out what they want to do in life and if they feel as if they have been failing. Then they should venture out and try something completely different to be possibly be surprised at what they're good at! Some of the points might sound redundant, but looking beneath the obvious is pretty inspiring. I knew early on what I'm good at and what I'm not good at even though it's not my passion, it's why I chose my career path. Thankfully, I've found my passion in hobbies and this book helps consider the possibilities of finding a way to combine or balance both.
It's the type of book that I would stop reading so that I could absorb what the writer was saying. I agree with many of the other reviews and the writer about the outdated educational system we have and trying to fit everyone into one mold. Needless to say, I enjoyed it!
