Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Lawyers. Accountants. Radiologists. Software engineers. That's what our parents encouraged us to become when we grew up. But Mom and Dad were wrong. The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind. The era of "left brain" dominance, and the Information Age that it engendered, are giving way to a new world in which "right brain" qualities-inventiveness, empathy, meaning-predominate. That's the argument at the center of this provocative and original book, which uses the two sides of our brains as a metaphor for understanding the contours of our times.

In the tradition of Emotional Intelligence and Now, Discover Your Strengths, Daniel H. Pink offers a fresh look at what it takes to excel. A Whole New Mind reveals the six essential aptitudes on which professional success and personal fulfillment now depend, and includes a series of hands-on exercises culled from experts around the world to help readers sharpen the necessary abilities. This book will change not only how we see the world but how we experience it as well.

Rating: - An Italian Emisphere

Rating: - Dan Pink nails it.
Dan Pink's AWNM is outstanding. Integrating the right and left brains creates an integrated person. An integrated person can engage the world with greater understanding and ability to make a positive difference. The biggest drawback was the cutout of the head on the cover, which caught on to everything, including my fingers as I tried to read the book. A small nuisance for a worthwhile read.

Rating: - Compelling information, little application
Pink's premise: Business leaders seeking an edge in our competitive, tech-saturated world will require skills like design, empathy and storytelling to put their products and services out front. But the author's prescription for developing these sensibilities--like taking a drawing class or walking a labyrinth--are a bit pie-in-the-sky. Let's face it: attending a "Laughter Workshop" won't help me design the next iPhone. Still, the book has some interesting insights and anecdotes, like the inner-city, ... Read More

Rating: - Why every artist should read this book!
In a very reader friendly, easy and entertaining writing style, Daniel Pink explains why the left-brained (or as he calls them "Left-Directed Thinkers") have ruled supreme in the last few decades. The computer programmers, engineers, accountants and attorneys that many parents hoped we'd become. But with the "Big 3" of Abundance, Asia & Automation, many of those jobs are moving to India, China and the like.

So if those jobs are on the decline, what does he think is on the rise? (And in ... Read More
