Summary: Change is a-comin'.....
Comment: Change is a-comin'. For those people that don't believe it, now would be a good time to leave the cave. And yes, power and control will go to people who possess strong right brain qualities. "R
The author gives us a quick trip through the halls of neuroscience which leads into acquiring the skills that will be needed for this new Conceptual Age. I actually preferred the second half of the book as I am not one that needs to be convinced that my environment and certainly the environment of my children and grandchildren will be vastly different from the one my father and grandfather grew up in.
Certain ideas and theories in this book could stand a little more research and certainly may be influenced by political leanings. All in all, it is still a very important book and should be part of any manager's survival pack. I hope you find this review helpful.

Summary: Delicious food for thought
Comment: I enjoyed reading this book. It was like a box of chocolates, each section was a delicious release of serotonin. I plan on reading it again so the other side of my brain can enjoy it.

Summary: Makes you think!
Comment: A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink was assigned for a graduate course. It was a summer course where we were squeezing a semester into 1 week. What we needed was another book to read. HOWEVER, once I began reading it, I was hooked. I read some of it aloud to my husband who became so interested he read it after me. We have passed it on to our best friends.
I can't wait for my college-age daughter to read it and give me her opinion. This is a book that will be interesting to a broad range of people.

Summary: EVERY TEACHER SHOULD READ THIS BOOK
Comment: I LOVE this book. I am an art teacher in Phoenix. I was able to discuss art integration through all subject matters with my students and I think that it's essentail! We are cutting our art programs down to nothing and we're creating a whole new generation of test takers -- our kids need to be problem solvers and CREATIVE problem solvers to compete in our new world. Our world that we live in now will NOT be the world our kids live in when they're grown up. Things are evolving fast and we need to give them tools to conquer tomorrow's problems. This book gives great insights! BUY IT! READ IT and give it to your school administrators! Thanks Mr. Pink!

Editorial Reviews:
|
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.
