I may or may not have a little crush on Sir Ken Ro

Known for the #1 most listened to TEDTalks Sir Ken Robinson has a way with words. I loved that he was the narrator. Most inspiring points I took away were his favor of including the arts in our schools, the studies that suggest a correlation between dance and better performance in all other areas. I enjoyed his "Dance is more important than math," argument. I also enjoyed his thoughts on "finding your element" and think that will be my next book.
