Product Description:
The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: artists, inventors, storytellers-creative and holistic 'right-brain' thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn't. Drawing on research from around the world, Pink outlines the six fundamentally human abilities that are absolute essentials for professional success and personal fulfillment-and reveals how to master them. A Whole New Mind takes readers to a daring new place, and a provocative and necessary new way of thinking about a future that's already here.

Rating: - A right brain look at economic development
This book is an excellent argument for the need for creativiity, decision making and other right brain functions in our current economic system.

Rating:  - Don't they rule the present?
This whole right-brain-left-brain thing is soooo left brain.Right brainers have no idea what the issue is about and perhaps it's better that way.But us left brainers have to sort and organize and categorize....it's obsessive!The truth is that big-picture, extraverted, emotive people already are in the highest ranks of management.Check out our president. They may still be left-brained but far more right-brained than the lowly programmers and IT staffers.This is nothing new; while the techies ... Read More
