The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything

Author: Ken Robinson and Lou Aronica
Genre: Non-Fiction (Self Help)
Date Finished: March 5, 2010

This was an interesting book, and an easy read. Worth the effort. It talks passion and vaguely references skill as well. It is mostly a series of motivational stories about people who found their passion and how they discovered it. It covers a wide variety of stories. One of the stories it tells is about Richard Feynman who observed a student tossing a spinning plate in the air. Out of pure curiousity, Feynman spent some time thinking and calculating how the spin and wobble relate. The reason that story struck me so strongly was because it is also told in Feynman's book, which was actually more interesting than this book.
