Product Description
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.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was like a box of chocolates, each section was a delicious release of serotonin. I plan on reading it again so the other side of my brain can enjoy it.

A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink was assigned for a graduate course. It was a summer course where we were squeezing a semester into 1 week. What we needed was another book to read. HOWEVER, once I began reading it, I was hooked. I read some of it aloud to my husband who became so interested he read it after me. We have passed it on to our best friends.
I can't wait for my college-age daughter to read it and give me her opinion. This is a book that will be interesting to a broad range of people.
EVERY TEACHER SHOULD READ THIS BOOK August 9, 2008

I LOVE this book. I am an art teacher in Phoenix. I was able to discuss art integration through all subject matters with my students and I think that it's essentail! We are cutting our art programs down to nothing and we're creating a whole new generation of test takers -- our kids need to be problem solvers and CREATIVE problem solvers to compete in our new world. Our world that we live in now will NOT be the world our kids live in when they're grown up. Things are evolving fast and we need to give them tools to conquer tomorrow's problems. This book gives great insights! BUY IT! READ IT and give it to your school administrators! Thanks Mr. Pink!

This excellent book by Daniel Pink is an excellent primer for future thinking not only for business but for living. It is a misnomer to list this book as a business book. The faculty at my school has made it a focal point for our curriculum planning for the coming year and teachers from all disciplines have found it instructive in reorienting the focus for our classes. The concepts presented in the book reflect a major step away from the linear progression of education for future leaders in any field to a more holistic point of view of what the student of today needs to succeed in the unknown future. It provides a refreshing, exciting and optimistic view of what the world can be in the 21st century.
