It’s not often to come across a book that could benefit people in any type of profession and lifestyle. But Daniel Pink’s A Whole New Mind might as well be the next required reading list for youngsters and adults alike.
Pink talks to us about the way right-thinkers will soon be dominating the world - and it’s happening much sooner than you’d expect. Right thinking has been associated an attributed with traits like intuition, randomness, holistic synthesizing, subjectivity, and viewing things from the “whole” point of view rather than the partial side of it.
There are six basic senses, essential to success, which are design, story, symphony, empathy, play, and meaning. Each sense is fully detailed and pleasingly explained in its pertaining chapter. Pink emphasizes that having all the discipline and passion in the world, but lacking these fundamental six concepts, is the reason why things don’t get done in our society, and why we’re more than often focusing our energies toward failure. This applies to ourselves, our jobs, our families, our day-to-day lives and activities.
This doesn’t mean that left-brain thinkers have it all wrong; it’s just a matter of realizing that we’re in the midst of a drastic shift which is taking us out of our comfort zones.
