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

My rating: C

 

Goodreads synopsis: 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.

 

My thoughts: I read this for a class this Spring. I really wasn’t terribly impressed by this book. There were several interesting studies quoted, but overall the author’s opinions were much different from my own. I felt like the entire book was just him restating the same thing in another mundane way. Skip this unless you are seriously interested in the artistic mind versus the left brain.
