Ken Robinson includes some fascinating points about the way our current education system does not always aid students in finding what they were meant to do. I found it a bit of a slow read and a bit repetitive, but it included a lot of stories of people who have found their “element,” which I found inspirational but could potentially be confusing or too detailed for certain readers. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to those who are still looking for their passion and those who believe they are stuck in their profession.

I wish the administrators of education everywhere would put the information and solutions put forth in this book into practice aroumd the world. This will take us a long way toward peace on earth for one and all. I am not kidding.

Plus it is a delight to read. No preaching. Truly remarkable.

Ken's book is simply a gem of wisdom coupled with suggested action. Should be required reading for anyone with ability, which is everyone.

Ken Robinson is creative writer who can inspire people through his influential and powerful words. This book is the ultimate guide to understand what it means to find an occupation that you love, excel at, and are naturally good at. I immensely enjoyed reading this book because it made so much sense; it shed light on my future as it will to everyone who reads it. I highly recommend this book and even if you already have a job that you love and are naturally good at, this is still a great read. Thank you Ken!!!

With all the debates going on about education, Ken Robinson's book, takes a refreshing approach. This is what should drive our purpose in education. If we took the time to help students to discover "their element" instead of force-feeding a strict one-dimensional test-infused curriculum, we truly would transform education in one generation. Every superintendent, principal, teacher, and parent needs to read this book. Every university should require their school of education to not only read it themselves, but include it in their teacher candidate's arsenal. It changed my life. Ken Robinson is a great storyteller, weaving together many stories into a powerful statement on where we are and where we ought to be.
