A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future. By Daniel H. Pink

The author makes some reflections as to the way in which we have been living our lives over the last few decades; he also discusses the talents that are recognized as competitive-distinctive. The left-brain nature of these talents is reinforced to set the stage for the main subject of the book.

Then, the driving-forces that are moving us from the so-called Information Era on to the Conceptual Era are identified. As it happens, these are forces that are already acting all over the place. Just look around you and you will see what the author means. Abundance, Asia and Automation; what a triad !!
So this means that it is time to reevaluate the talents that will ''separate the kids from the big boys and girls'' in the forthcoming (rapidly approaching) future. This goes beyond a mild transformation; it means truly thinking about the person that you want to be to face this future.
The author proposes six new senses that could assist you in shaping your new personality and talents; these are six senses that are heavily right-brain hosted. It touches some sensitive subjects (spirituality, happiness, etc.); but nothing too heavy nor too radical.It is NOT proposed that the right-brain talents will override the left-brain abilities; quite the contrary. The author refers to the complement of these two into the so-called Whole New Mind.This is a very nicely-written book. It is easy to follow and with an extremely colloquial language. It provides good notes and references to elicit further reading too.
