Според мен това е книга, която си струва всеки родител, мениджър, учител да прочете. Ще напиша по-подробна рецензия в http://azcheta.com/
This book is full of great stuff! And the underlying idea - that we need to think outside the box about education and teaching - makes this book well-worth the read. The only problem I have with it is that the examples given do seem to rely a lot on circumstance - not just the factors of The Element. Naming a few select individuals that succeeded using your method is not substantial evidence that said method actually works.
Worth the read, but (in my opinion) The Element probably downplays outside/uncontrollable factors involved in achieving success.

Eh. It was okay. Makes you wonder, "what if I don't have an element? then what?" the stories were inspiring, but it seems that they all "discovered the element" happenstantially. So, what if that discovery never happens for you? It was interesting, but some things seemed disjointed and unrelated to the core message. But I finished it to the end and occasionally felt inspired.
A veces nos olvidamos de que la vida es para ser felices y nos adentramos en la larga fila de gente que hace lo que tiene que hacer porque así es como se nos ha dictado desde siempre.
Este libro lo deberían de leer todas las personas independientemente de su edad o condición. Tendríamos un mundo con mucha más gente que es extraordinaria en lo que realmente le gusta hacer y dónde tiene las capacidades para sobresalir. Y sobretodo, tendríamos un mundo mucho más feliz.
De los mejores libros que he leído en mi vida entera. Léelo. No te arrepentirás.

This is an amazing book about doing what you love regardless of what society deems appropriate or worthy. This is a great read for those who are unsure of what they want to do in their life, for teachers who have students who commit themselves to unconventional pastimes, and for anyone who wants to understand themselves better!

Don't hate me, but...I didn't love this book. Don't get me wrong, there are many inspiring stories, but, as a teacher, I just kept saying "yeah, well, duh." I guess I didn't learn anything from this book I didn't already know.
I picked this up because I watched one of Ken Robinson's TED Talks: Do Schools Kill Creativity, which includes one of the anecdotes that found its way into the book. I thought that the story, of the choreographer of CATS, was sweet and funny, and I wanted to know more. So, first recommendation, go and watch this video before reading this book. It is around twenty minutes, and if you don't like the tone of the video, you will not like the tone of the book.
I don't really know how to classify this book. I found it through an education track, but it goes so far past that. The so-called Element is really that thing that everyone has that they are good at, a passion that they pursue. In my world, I usually call these our superpowers. This book is a series of true stories, about choreographers and television creators and mathematicians and even a Beatle, finding who they are.
I would recommend this to anyone who has to work with children, anyone who has children, or anyone who really just needs a few inspiring stories in their life. It is a book that I would like for my own personal bookshelf, because I think that the message, of finding your element, is so important, and I cannot imagine the message being told in a better way.
