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.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Fresh and clear.
I appreciate the easy-to-read style of the important information in this book. I liked the way that Pink made clear the way that he defines his senses and gave exercises to develop those senses. His argument, or, as he would like to say, his story was cogent and his textual evidence is not disputable.
Rating:  - Must be read in Portugal!
A Book which should be read by everybody in Portugal . Mainly by the politicians.
Daniel Pink makes evident that the Information Society is the past to the west. The dazzling growing of India (and China in a nearly future) in IT will absorb all the world necessities of IT development. The future, Daniel Pink says, is in the right side of the brain: the one who does not labors with mathematic but with creativity and sociability.
I sincerely hope Portuguese Prime Minister to read this ... Read More

This is not a critique on how this book was written; nor, on whether or not I agree with the theories and methods discussed - with an open mind, it all makes sense to me. What I will say is that Mr. Pink does a very good job at both going into exhaustive detail and summarizes topics into layman terms for everyone's benefit (overall good read and flow). I am 31 years and am concerned about oil prices, the housing crisis and the off-shoring of countless positions to cheaper labor overseas; Mr. Pink offers ... Read More
Rating: - It'll Blow Your Mind
Teachers, business owners, corporate bosses will ruminate about Dan Pink's book for years to come. As a high school English teacher, I was thrilled to find teaching ideas and useful websites to use in the classroom. Pink tells us to think in a whole new way--in a right-brain way. He explains how we have been functioning in a left-brain, high tech, information age and now it's time to find ways to be comfortable and productive with all that information. By emphasizing, design, play, meaning, empathy, story, ... Read More
Rating: - Fabulous Insights - Mind Altering
I lived to see the coming of the space age and the flight to the moon. Because we found ourselves behind the Russians and sorely lacking in trained engineers we began to push college education and the "knowledge trades."
We have flourished technically as a result. Computers and the internet magnified that and many of us scrambled to get into those leading edge industries because that's where the future lay!
That time is all but past and a new age is ushering in. By that I certainly ... Read More
