Book Reviews of A Whole New Mind: Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age
Book Review: Everybody's business
Summary: 5 Stars
This excellent book by Daniel Pink is an excellent primer for future thinking not only for business but for living. It is a misnomer to list this book as a business book. The faculty at my school has made it a focal point for our curriculum planning for the coming year and teachers from all disciplines have found it instructive in reorienting the focus for our classes. The concepts presented in the book reflect a major step away from the linear progression of education for future leaders in any field to a more holistic point of view of what the student of today needs to succeed in the unknown future. It provides a refreshing, exciting and optimistic view of what the world can be in the 21st century.
Summary of A Whole New Mind: Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age
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.
