Additional A Whole New Mind: Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age Information
|
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.

What Customers Say About A Whole New Mind: Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age:

Twice now I have lent this book to a friend and not gotten it back. My boss made us read this for work, and I was not excited about it. However, once I got into it, this book grew on me. So, this will be my third copy. I read it again each time.
If you have had to deal with ADDHD or Dyslexia you will find this book enlightening
I ordered this book and never received it. I have tried contacting Amazon, but no one has replied.
Pink's book is full of useful stories and exercises to help nurture your own right-brain and grow to your full potential. Regardless of what we do for a living, we're all creative in some way. This book has made a huge and positive difference in my personal and professional life. He explains the functioning of the human brain, its left and right sides and how they serve us, in a very approachable manner. How we apply that creativity is changing more rapidly than at any other time. Our biggest advantage and favor we can do ourselves is to embrace our right-brain characteristics and thrive because of them.Mr. His understanding of the functioning of the brain using the fMRI scan technology may appear over simplistic to a field specialist, but the information is intended to guide us through the subsequent chapters that fully engage both the sides of the brain. Long live the era of right-brain thinking.
This is a great book. Simple language, simple point of view, fresh thoughts on matters of our daily lives and the importance of dimensions some people (like me) often forget.
