Ken Robinson is a British author, speaker and international advisor on education to government, non-profits, education and arts bodies.

In his book, Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything, Robinson considers the child bored in class, the disillusioned employee and those of us who feel frustrated but can't quite explain why: and shows how we all need to reach our ‘Element’, the point at which natural talent meets personal passion.

In this month’s podcast, I cover a large part of the book in more detail, and consider how Robinson’s ideas can be used at retirement age.

Eckhart Tolle is a German-born resident of Canada and a celebrated spiritual teacher. In 2008, The New York Times described him as "the most popular spiritual author in the United States". In his book, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, Tolle demonstrates how to live a healthier, happier, mindful life by living in the present moment. 

In this month’s podcast, I cover the entire book in more detail, and consider how Tolle’s ideas can help us to lead a life of passion and purpose at retirement age.

This month, I’m looking at Brené Brown’s “Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead.” Brené Brown, PhD is a research professor at the University of Houston. She has spent the last two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame and empathy, and is the author of four Number 1 New York Times bestsellers.

In Daring Greatly, Brown offers a transformative new vision for the way we lead, love, work, parent, and educate - that teaches us the power of vulnerability. In my podcast, I cover the entire book in more detail, and consider how Brown’s ideas can make a difference to us in later life.
