The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything (Paperback)
The element is the point at which natural talent meets personal passion. It is here that people feel most themselves, inspired and able to achieve at their highest levels. In this ground-breaking book, world-renowned creativity expert Ken Robinson identifies a crisis in education and business: whether it’s a child bored in class, a disillusioned or misused employee or someone who feels frustrated but can’t quite explain why, too many people don’t realize what they are capable of achieving. Through stories of people – like Vidal Sassoon, Ariana Huffington and Matt Groening – who have recognized their unique talents and been able to make a successful living doing what they love, Robinson argues that age and occupation are no barrier and explains how each one of us can reach our element. With a wry sense of humor, Ken Robinson inspires us, above all, to reconnect with our true selves – it could just change everything.

Lou Aronica
I am the author of several works of fiction and nonfiction, including the New York Times bestseller, THE ELEMENT (written with Sir Ken Robinson) and the national bestseller, THE CULTURE CODE (written with Dr. Clotaire Rapaille). Before focusing on writing, I spent two decades as a senior executive in the publishing industry, including stints as Publisher of Avon Books and Deputy Publisher of Bantam Books. I am currently the Publisher of the independent publishing house The Story Plant.
My novels fall roughly into three categories. There are the HEARTS OF MEN books, which focus on men facing moments when they are most vulnerable and striving to find a path forward. There are my Gold Family novels, which follow an ensemble cast of characters through their evolving lives in a small town in New England. And then there are the fantasies, which explore themes like divorce, the power of imagination, and reconnecting with your soul from a fantastic perspective.
