Featured Book - A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future

The featured book from the current Library New Book List is A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future by Daniel H. Pink.

Synopsis:
Lawyers. Accountants. Software Engineers. That's what Mom and Dad encouraged us to become. They were wrong. Gone is the age of "left-brain" dominance. The future belogs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: designers, inventors, teachers, storytellers - creative and empathic "right-brain" thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn't. Drawing on research from around the advanced world, Daniel Pink outlines the siz fundamentally human abilities that are essential for professional success and personal fulfillment - and reveals how to master them. From a laughter club in Bombay, to an inner-city high school devoted to design, to a lesson on how to detect an insincere smile, A Whole New Mind takes readers to a daring new place, and offers a provacative and urgent new way of thinking about a future that has already arrived.
