The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything by Ken Robinson

2.0

Picked this up because of his TED Talk about creativity and education. First 80-100 pages or so were quite good (re: the antiquated heirarchy of disciplines in education (based on educating an Industrial Revolution-era workforce rather than a 21st century one), the undervaluing of creativity and different types of intelligence, etc.). But then it just drug on and on, and the writing started to feel uninspired and formulaic (point #6; anecdote sort of supporting point #6; now we see that point #6 is true). And then I just resented him by the end for not ending the book 150 pages sooner. Oh well.
