Me ha encantado!! Después de leer este libro, mi visión sobre el concepto de la inteligencia humana se ha enriquecido y ampliado.
Sir. Ken Robinson fue un visionario. Sigue siendo urgente, si queremos sobrevivir a las consecuencias de nuestra propia evolución, el cambio de paradigma en el sistema educativo que él planteaba. Pero me temo que ya llegamos tarde ...

One of the best non fiction books I have ever read. Terribly interesting and although he points out a myriad of problems in our education system, it is, all in all, inspiring. Not just for parents or students, but for those who have long left their "formal" education behind. Giving it to my 15 yr old daughter to read in hopes that it will help her explore her own interests & that she doesn't stress out too much about the ACTs.
Like a lot of people, my first encounter with Ken Robinson was within the context of his Ted speech "Do Schools Kill Creativity?" which is currently the most viewed on Ted.com. I decided to give his book a spin and found myself either wishing he had further delved into his thesis or trimmed it down a little. It is a little book but is stuffed so full of information, ideas and illustrative examples that you have to close read it. If you want the nutshell listen to the Ted Talk but overall this is a very interesting read.
Very interesting and inspirational book about finding one's real path to happiness - Robinson understands we are all born different and have different talents, therefore he points that our educational system with boxing everybody in the same standardized boxes does not really work as children often have completely unique and various interests and intelligence can't be measured. Trough stories about people who actually achieved something despite surroundings (family not approving, health issues and so on) he explains how we could find happiness trough following what our hearts tells us - along the way he explains the difference from being professional and amateur, the importance of nurturing the hobbies and how to enjoy our little "oddities" simply because it is something that makes us happy. If everybody around you find its "silly", "childish" or "immature" Robinson points that obviously one has to simply ignore surroundings and enjoy what makes us happy because its our natural response to spirit. Only rare people are lucky enough to combine hobby and profession, however the rest of us might nurture wonderful ideas and pictures in our secret lives and this books explains why it is so important never to give up the inner child.
As a teacher and researcher, much of my work has been influenced by Sir Ken Robinson's writing. While this is not a how-to guide on fixing the issues, it does bring to light many things that we have simply come to accept as fact.to create real change, we must start by acknowledging that there are other ways to look at things, and this book inspired me to do that.
An excellent book. Would recommend to anyone involved in education.
A MUST READ
extremely encouraging and captivating...especially as a student wanting to pursue her passions. I highly recommend this book for anyone of any age

El concepto del libro es interesante, pero creo que a mitad más o menos se pierde y termina siendo una crítica al sistema educativo post revolución industrial. Me hubiera gustado que hiciera más énfasis en la búsqueda del "elemento" que es el tema central del libro.
I thought this was brilliant. Some excellent case studies highlighting the importance of being in your element
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.
