Editorial Review:
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.” — Po Bronson, author of What Should I Do With My Life?

Rating:  - A Whole New Mind
An overwhelming wake up call for the "go to school, get good grades, get a good paying job" thinkers. I want to give this book to my kids especially my youngest who is interested in getting her MBA.
The new staple for a changing educational and economical future.
If you don't read this book, you are limiting yourself.
Rating:  - Conceptualization
The author begins by describing how the spheres of the brain
operate. The left hemisphere controls the right side,
recognizes serial events (sequentially), manages text,
siphons details and performs logistics. The right hemisphere
controls the left side, manages simultaneity and context,
looks at the big picture and knows the world from the experiential
dimension. The back of the book has a large bibliography of
scientific and journalistic references. The ... Read More
Rating: - Compelling Read
A senior colleague of mine recommended this book, and it really is a great read - easy and fun, but substantive at the same time. Pink's argument's flow logically and the porfolios at the end of each chapter are a great resource, I found myself looking up all the websites and jotting down notes for activities to try.
Rating:  - Kort Amerikaans: welvaart boven welzijn
Met de subtitel Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age en een aanbeveling van Wired 'Why right-brainers will rule the future' en aanbevelingen op de achterflap van Tom Peters, Po Bronson en Seth Godin die de auteur onder meer positioneren als wonderdoener en 'Copernicus for the brave new age' worden enorme verwachtingen gewekt en kritische antennes geactiveerd. Een boek dat inmiddels in de VS in de 8e hedruk zit en gewoon erg populair is, moet toch wat te bieden hebben?
En ... Read More
Rating: - A hole in the mind
Pink starts with the inarguable premise that we live in a changing economy. The smokestack industries moved overseas long since, and white-collar jobs are fast following. Countries with low labor costs, compared to the West, have growing pools of highly skilled technical workers. As a result, things like programming, accounting, and circuit design have changed from specialty skills to commodity tasks, just as happened with material goods like toasters, toys, and sneakers. Pink declares that the new differentiators ... Read More
