Product Description
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?

 Skills to flourish in our changing world December 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am always looking for ways to be more productive. Being left-handed I became interested in this book when I saw the sub-title "Why Right-Brainers Will Rule The World". I thought: "finally, my day has come!".
What I found was not quite a "recipe book" for success but rather a new and different way to look at the world.
The book is replete with references to resource materials (many of which are found on the Internet free of cost). Now on my second reading I am taking the time to visit these resources to take my understanding of my fledgling new skill set to a deeper level.
When I really like a book I buy extras to give to friends. Of the five extras that I bought I have given them to; a school superintendent, a financial services businessman, a nurse nearing retirement, a newspaper editor and an attorney.
If you want to learn what you will need to do differently or better to excel in our changing world this book is for you.
Adventures from the left brained November 30, 2008

As someone who had depended on her left brain way too much in life, this book is bringing me out of my shell and encouraging me to appreciate the right side of my brain again. I am in my second year of my master's studies in Landscape Architecture and the book's chapter on design highlights the need for everyone to become designers. This book is extremely readable, it has become my bed-side book. Pink writes fluently and has created a book that is both informative and enjoyable.
 Why so much more than the print book? November 28, 2008

I want to read this, but it doesn't make sense to me that an electronically transferred book is so much more than the current paperback price. I won't buy the kindle edition till the price drops.

I believe that you can expand your mind one book at a time and this is one that makes the complex simple, challenges you to think about business and life in a fresh new way and celebrates the future that is already here - "Welcome to the Real World"...Indeed Morpheus ...indeed
A Whole New Mind November 2, 2008

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.
