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.

Excellent survey of attributes needed in a more conceptualised view of society. Also good to see Positive Psychology given a write up too

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the full narration. The list of books suggested for additional reading is exhaustive and impressive. Would recommend for everyone, especially those like me who have kids just entering secondary school. It would definitely change the way you see their education.

This book may have some flaws, but it is a useful read to get us left brainers out of our complacent and confident ruts...it introduces us to the rest of the world which is well worth exploring. They say we never stop learning, well this book helps give us a bit of a nudge. I for am one am grateful!

DEFINITELY A RIGHT GOOD READ!

I love books that attempt to predict future behaviour based on anecdotal and imperial evidence. This book does it very well

Very interesting read

I found the topic and concept very interesting and relevant. However, it seemed very padded out and diluted, lacking depth, so I ended up feeling that it didn’t give me much apart from drawing my attention to an area/direction. Would have welcomed more depth and less repetition.
Having said that, I’m glad to have read it, simply due to the reminder of the significance of what is going on in this area.
A good intro for those that haven’t thought about this area before.

The age of pursuit of meaning!

For someone, a complete left brainer, this book was really good. could get some important insights about drivers and abilities needed on the current age. Really recommend for people looking for a change in mindset

I'm a Western coder. I've slowly been progressing in my career but this book makes sense why I should leave the coding to someone else and focus more on the big picture. I'd say I have been doing this already but the challenge is getting someone to do it at the same quality and as quick. I'll definitely be working on right brain activities. I've done some of this in the past and I have seen an improvement of my first draft projects.

interesting for coders.

Some of this book was really fascinating. It helped to explain why education needs to change to fit the changing patterns of todays youth with their smartphones but in a positive and constructive way. It was very interesting to hear how the American Military are already harnessing this in a positive way ... I think it is watch this space

Fascinating overall
