dreadymorticia 's review for:
The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything
by Ken Robinson
I was very disappointed with this book, especially since his TEDTalks have deeply inspired me.
I work with students who have a lot of trouble finding their element and hearing stories about artists or millionaires is not what inspires them. I would have rather have him tell us stories about the salesperson who found meaning in his daily work helping people find their exact need or the guy terrible at math who became a happy accountant because it meant working with real numbers for a real purpose. Stories of entrepreneurs and artists sound really cool but they are not the majority of students and especially not the only ones failed by the school system.
The last chapter was brilliant though.
