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 it is possible for each one of us to reach our element. With a wry sense of humour, Ken Robinson inspires us, above all, to reconnect with our true self - it could just change everything.

　　在这本异彩纷呈的书中，我们能读到世界众多杰出人士的非凡人生：从甲壳虫乐队的保罗·麦卡特尼蓟《辛普森一家》的创作者马特·葛罗宁，从”“桌球女王”艾娃·劳伦斯到“数学界的莫扎特”陶哲轩，从经济学家萨缪尔森到股神巴菲特。

　　但是这《让天赋自由:如何用激情改变你的世界》的真正主角不是他们，而是你自己！

　　读完这《让天赋自由:如何用激情改变你的世界》，你就会发现，那些一流的成功人士，他们的荣耀并不值得你我艳羡，事实上，他们的人生远没有达到一帆风顺的境界，可以说他们没有一个人的生活堪称完美。但无论如何，这些一流的成功人士都曾经历过一个阶段的完美生活，在这个完美的阶段，他们因为发现自己的潜力而让自己的事业加速发展。而这，就是你我需要努力做到的。那些一流的成功人士最值得你我艳羡的，应该是他们找到了真实的自我。

　　《让天赋自由:如何用激情改变你的世界》是一首有关人类天赋和人类激情的赞美诗，也是一首对人类卓越的发展潜能的颂歌。它告诉我们什么环境能够人尽其才，什么限制会使人类的潜能消退，告诉我们该怎样利用现有的时光，发现自己的天命，挖掘自己的潜能，找到我们走向未来的路。 Ken Robinson is an internationally recognised leader in the development of creativity, innovation and human resources. He has worked with national governments in Europe and Asia, international agencies, Fortune 500 companies, national and state education systems, non-profit organisations and some of the world's leading cultural organisations. He was knighted in 2003 for his contribution to education and the arts.
