Robinson Sir

Gyermekként általában nagyon kreatívnak tartjuk magunkat, felnőttként viszont már korántsem érezzük ugyanezt. Mi történik velünk, miközben felnövünk? Miért felejtjük el a bennünk rejlő kreativitásunkat az oktatás és szakmai képzések során? Ugyanígy érthetetlen, hogy piacvezetők azt mondják, olyanokra van szükségük, akik képesek kreatívan gondolkodni, akik rugalmasak, gyorsan és dinamikusan alkalmazkodnak, de nem találnak ilyeneket. Vajon miért nincs az egyre növekvő igényeknek megfelelően elég kreatív munkaerő? Hogyan oldhatjuk fel ezt a képtelen kreativitási paradoxont? Ken Robinson mindent felforgató szenvedélyes és határozott válasza: Lépjünk ki a dobozból, abból a tanult szabályrendszerből, amelyben ezek a képtelen ellentmondások állandóan újratermelődnek! Radikális gondolatai, magával ragadó stílusa, az életből hozott konkrét példái meggyőző erővel hatnak, és egyértelművé teszik, milyen az igazi alkotó tér, amelyben új módszerek alapján, nagyobb önbizalommal, magabiztosabban és rugalmasabban tudunk felkészülni gyermekeinkkel együtt a jövő kreatív kihívásaira.

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.

Ken Robinson, author of the international bestseller "The Element" and the most viewed talk on TED.com, offers a practical guide to discovering your passions and natural aptitudes, and finding the point at which the two meet: "Finding Your Element". Through a range of stories from his own experience and those of people from all walks of life, Ken Robinson explores the diversity of intelligence and the power of imagination and creativity. For some, finding their element has brought fame and success, like Ellen McArthur's unusual journey from growing up in a landlocked ex-mining town to achieving sailing glory. However many of the inspiring stories are of ordinary people who read the first book and were moved to share how its principles have transformed their lives, like the man who found fulfilment as a magician after years of working as a computer engineer. This book also provides the tools, techniques, resources and advice you need to discover the depth of your abilities and identify opportunities for change. It looks at the conditions that enable you to find yourself: why it's so important to connect with people who share your element and why your attitudes may be holding you back. "Finding Your Element" shows that age and occupation are no barriers to discovering what makes us happiest, and that once we have found our path we can help others to do so as well. Sir Ken Robinson, Ph.D, is an internationally recognized leader in the development of creativity, innovation, and human potential. He advises governments, corporations, education systems, and some of the world's leading cultural organizations.

Lou Aronica is the author of two novels and coauthor of several works of nonfiction, including "The Culture Code" (with Clotaire Rapaille) and "The Element".

Všichni se rodíme s ohromnými přirozenými schopnostmi, ovšem čím déle jsme na světě, tím více jich ztrácíme.

Na druhé straně existují také lidé, kteří jsou ve svém oboru mimořádně úspěšní, dělají svou práci s vášní a nedokážou si představit, že by dělali něco jiného. Jejich příběhy nás všechny mohou naučit něco důležitého a povaze lidských schopností a o jejich využití. Kniha Ve svém živlu obsahuje širokou paletu příběhů o kreativní cestě velmi rozdílných lidí. Tito lidé vyprávějí, jak poprvé poznali svůj jedinečný talent a jak si velice úspěšně vydělávají tím, co milují. Ken Robinson nabízí širší pohled na lidské schopnosti a kreativitu a na prospěch, který nám všem přináší, když lépe využíváme svého nadání a zálib. Musíme zajistit, aby všichni lidé měli možnost dělat to, co by dělat měli, aby objevili svůj vlastní živel svým vlastním způsobem. Tato kniha je oslavnou písní úžasné různorodosti lidského talentu a mimořádného potenciálu růstu a rozvoje.

"It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can be turned in two directions. Turn it one way andyou lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the otherway and you release resources and give people back to themselves. To realizeour true creative potential in our organizations, in our schools and in our communities we need to think differently about ourselves and to actdifferently towards each other. We must learn to be creative."
