The future belongs to right brainers

I have recently read Dan Pink’s book, “A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future”

Lawyers. Accountants. Computer programmers. That's what our parents encouraged us to become when we grew up. But Mom and Dad were wrong. The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind. The era of "left brain" dominance, and the Information Age that it engendered, are giving way to a new world in which "right brain" qualities-inventiveness, empathy, meaning-predominate. That's the argument at the center of this provocative and original book, which uses the two sides of our brains as a metaphor for understanding the contours of our times.

Here’s a simple mind map of the book for those of you who want a brief overview.

Here is a ten minute video created by Steve Cunningham which contains an excellent summary of “A Whole New Mind”:
