A Whole New Mind

Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future

De: Daniel H. Pink

Narrado por: Daniel H. Pink

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 belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: designers, inventors, teachers, storytellers - creative and emphatic "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 six 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 listeners to a daring new place, and offers a provocative and urgent new way of thinking about a future that has already arrived.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Thought-provoking moments abound." ( Publishers Weekly)
"This book is a miracle. Completely original and profound." (Tom Peters)
"For soon-to-be liberal arts graduates, it makes an encouraging graduation gift." ( Newsweek)
"This is one author who knows how to narrate. Pink has excellent pacing, diction, and tone." ( AudioFile)

Great book, great presentation.

This was a wonderful book in almost every respect. The voice of the narrator was pleasing and the book itself was well served by an audio format. The subject of the book would have us believe that the world will be ruled by right-brained people. But the content of the book suggests that we are all best served by a world populated with and perhaps ruled by "Whole" brain people who have fully integrated their Left and Right brains. I could not more highly recommend this book to anyone interested in exploring the nature of the human mind and how to use and enjoy it more.

top-class work

One of the best book of this kind. Read brilliantly by the author, Daniel Pink, I enjoyed every passage, exercises and activities in this wonderful little audiobook. It gives a broad perspective about productive mind in 21st century. The book has motivated me to practice empathy, start involving myself in right brain activities like art, design. Must listen by everyone.. especially auditors, accountants, software programmers...

Must read this book for the future generation

Must read this book for the future generation and parents that are responsible for their upbringing

This book is for everyone

All should benefit from this book but it should be made mandatory for anyone in the education world including all parents.

Great perspective with effective delivery

I've read several books on this general topic and found Mr. Pink to have a more practical and meaningful approach. The illustrations and data driven story of the changing cultural and economic landscape provides useful insight into this new age.
