Why read it?
1 author picked The Element as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is by a creativity and education expert who writes about how finding what motivates and excites you ('the point where natural talent meets personal passion') is life-changing. A lot of it is both eye-opening and quite funny in a bleak sort of way (e.g. how many very famous people were not noticed for their talent at all as children, just bored in school). It does make you think about how our society is not really set up for encouraging people to find their 'element' and how we might change that. Thought-provoking.
