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 emphatic "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 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.
