Mind & Its Potential is an extraordinary conference series unlike anything you have attended before.

About your free  book
 

Are you in your element? Feeling on top of your game creatively? Want to know how to maximize your passion and potential? Are our school systems discouraging creativity and favouring academic measurement?

The element is the point at which natural talent meets personal passion. This groundbreaking book explores how every one of us can find our element, connecting with our true talents and fulfilling our creative potential. Creativity and education expert Sir Ken Robinson believes that we are all born with tremendous natural capacities, but that we lose touch with them as we spend more time in the world. The Element draws on the stories of a wide range of people – from ex-Beatle Paul McCartney to Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons; from actress Meg Ryan to renowned physicist Richard Feynman– showing how they came to recognize their unique talents and were able to make a successful living doing what they love.
With a wry sense of humour and a sense of optimism, Ken Robinson looks at the conditions that enable us to fi nd ourselves in the element and to create an environment in our schools, workplaces, and public offices - where every person is inspired to grow creatively.
