“A Whole New Mind is an amazing scientific and self-help book that argues that, in order to succeed in modern life, one must become more creative -- or, use not only the logical left brain but also the right brain, a center for emotional thinking and synthesis. Pink very convincingly argues this point and gives many suggestions for ways to increase creativity.”

-- Eric Berg, Book Ends, Winchester, MA

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.

Praise For A Whole New Mind…

Will give you a new way to look at your work, your talent, your future. (Worthwhile magazine) Very important, convincingly argued, and mind-altering. (Po Bronson, author of What Should I Do With My Life?) Wow! This is not a self-help book. It's way more important than that. (Seth Godin, author of Purple Cow)
