A Whole New Mind

By Daniel Pink.

Pink's argument... if a job can be done more cheaply by some one in the 3rd world or by a computer. or if the job is irrelivant in an age of plently, then job will be a comodity. The jobs of the future require more creative, right brained thinking.

Pink is careful to not say that right brained thinkers will rule. Rather he argues that we need both sides of the brain. None-the-less he spends the bulk of his time discussing right brained thinking.

For Pink, the six right brain skills are...
1. Design
2. Story
3. Symphony (Seeing the whole picture)
4. empathy
5. Play
6. meaning
