About this listen

 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 emphatic "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 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.

I enjoyed Daniel Pink's vision of the future... his prediction that the three inexorable forces of Abundance, Asia and Automation will force the developed world to embrace right brained dominant thinking. The argument is framed well and narrated with the strength that we find only when narrator and author are one. I wasn't expecting Pink's series of references. At the end of each chapter on the attributes of the right handed brain he provides an extensive reading list and on line sites to explore further. This is like an exercise regime for the inquisitive brain. An engaging,easily digested work that will be well worth a second or third listen (and there's few books that can boast such)

Insightful

Out of all Dan's books this is exceptionally bad. The information was stretched and hardly relevant. it lacked the soul and passion of his other works. I found the frequent pronoun switching to be contrived and out of context. A distracting pull from immersion.

Dissapointed
