IMAGINE IF - KEN PHD ROBINSON KATE ROBINSON ...

A call to action that pulls together all of Sir Ken Robinson's key messages and philosophies 
and that challenges and empowers readers to re-imagine our world  and our systems  for the
better. Sir Ken Robinson changed the lives of millions of people. The embodiment of the
prestigious TED conference  his TED Talks are watched an average of 17 000 times a day--a
figure that Chris Anderson  Head of TED  says is the equivalent of selling out the Millennium
Dome every night for fifteen consecutive years. A New York Times bestselling author  Sir Ken's
books have been translated into twenty four languages. In his final years  Sir Ken was working
on a book that would serve as his manifesto. This book was being written for both new and
dedicated audiences alike as a coherent overview of the arguments that he dedicated his life to
and as a pivotal piece of literature for the education revolution he began. When Sir Ken
received his cancer prognosis in August 2020 he asked his daughter and collaborator  Kate
Robinson  to finish writing this manifesto and continue his work. At its core  Sir Ken's work
is a love letter to human potential--a celebration of what we as a species are capable of doing
and of being  if we create the right conditions. It is a rallying cry to revolutionize our
systems of education  and the ways in which we run our businesses and structure our social
systems  so that they bring out the best in each and every person. Sir Ken often observed that
what separates us from the rest of life on Earth is our power of imagination: the ability to
bring to mind things that are not present to our senses. It is imagination that allows us to
create the world in which we live  rather than just exist in it. It also gives us the power to
recreate it.
