PMA manages the Foreign, and Film Rights to this title. The book will first be published by Viking in early 2009, and subsequently by Penguin.
The Element is the place where passion and skill meet. People find themselves in their Element when they engage in something they love that they are also especially good at doing. This leads to more than just a sense of personal satisfaction. As Sir Ken illustrates so eloquently in this book, being in The Element also insulates people against unpredictable changes and leads to a more flexible and productive society. The new paradigm of The Element has a profound impact on education, corporations, organizations, and, especially individuals. And it is available to every person who knows how to find it.
The Element is a lively tour through this new paradigm. Illustrated by stories (many based on exclusive interviews) of celebrities, entrepreneurs, scientists, and other highly accomplished people who have found The Element; it is as entertaining as it is illuminating.
