Publisher Description

Just as we were getting used to the Information Age, Daniel Pink tells us that it is ending. With it goes our focus on charts, statistics, and linear thinking. Traditional left-brain activities, like logic, analysis, and repetitive production, are being turned over to robots, computers, and offshore labor. The valued skills of the 21st Century will be those of the right brain: empathy, design, synthesis, and contextual thinking. In this live presentation, author and lecturer Daniel Pink tells you:

  • How abundance, Asia, and automation are changing the world

  • Why routine is the scariest word in theEnglish language

  • How old-line companies like GM and Proctor & Gamble are responding

  • What six abilities matter most in the emerging age

  • "Wow. Excellent read. I read it very slowly because I didn't want it to be over! Which is saying something for a non-fiction book. Loved his ability to connect disparate elements and offer insight. Enjoyed the addition of materials to review for each quality. Great website as well for the author."

      " Book review of this week: 'A whole new mind' is an interesting and inspiring book. Pink explains how creative and holistic "right-brain" thinkers will change our future in business and media through six critical senses: design, play, story, symphony, empathy and meaning. Lots of good tips and links are mentioned in the latest edition. Reading the book was the perfect entertainment during my holiday between sightseeing and on flights as it lacks depth in some parts. Will definitely experiment with the ideas and advices, Pink shares to increase my 'right-brain'-mindset. 4 stars! "

      " As a right-brainer, I am much fascinated about this book of creativity. Still, in my opinion, like the Maslow's pyramid of needs, creativity can only bring results when the lower elements are fulfilled. "

      " Prototypical book about self-actualization and how to structure one's life. It's this kind of book that give the other books on Oprah's book club list a bad name. Once I had skimmed the first 60 pages I was in too deep and had to finish - unfortunate. "
