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.

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!

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

Conceptual Age preparedness

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

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.

A bright new perspective

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.
