Product Description:
Lawyers. Accountants. Software engineers. That’s what Mom and Dad encouraged us to become. They were wrong. Gone is the age of “left-brain” dominance. The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: designers, inventors, teachers, storytellers—creative and empathic “right-brain” thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn’t. Drawing on research from around the advanced world, Daniel Pink outlines the six fundamentally human abilities that are essential for professional success and personal fulfillment—and reveals how to master them. From a laughter club in Bombay, to an inner-city high school devoted to design, to a lesson on how to detect an insincere smile, A Whole New Mind takes listeners to a daring new place, and offers a provocative and urgent new way of thinking about a future that has already arrived.
“This book is a miracle. Completely original and profound.” — Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
“A very important, convincingly argued and mind-altering book.” — PoBronson, author of What Should I Do With My Life?

Rating: - Something to chew on...
This is hardly a book of right-brain/left-brain pseudo-psychology. Rather, this is surprisingly tantalizing with its ideas about skill needed by the workforce of the future.
Not interested in employment skills? Retired? Still in school not looking for a job? This is also a good book for learning new ways to expand your life, increase your enjoyment of life, and augment your knowledge. Whatever your purpose for reading this book, you are in for a treat.
This is a very short read ... Read More
