A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule The Future

From the author of "Free Agent Nation" comes an original work that outlines six fundamentally human abilities that are essentials for success and personal fulfillment--and how to master them.

The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: artists, inventors, storytellers-creative and holistic "right-brain" thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn't. Drawing on research from around the world, Pink outlines the six fundamentally human abilities that are absolute essentials for professional success and personal fulfillment-and reveals how to master them. "A Whole New Mind" takes readers to a daring new place, and a provocative and necessary new way of thinking about a future that's already here.

About The Author
Author, journalist, speechwriter, political aide, capturer of the business zeitgeist, Daniel Pink is, or has been, all of these and more.

Along the way, Pink has written four books that have been translated into 32 languages. In Free Agent Nation: The Future of Working for Yourself (2001), he was one of the first to celebrate the generation of self-employed workers. Freed from conventional corporate life, he argued, a growing number of people were liberated by the internet to lead fulfilling and productive lives on their own terms. In The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need, Pink welded the Japanese manga cartoons with the business book genre to produce another bestseller.

A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future looks at the power of creative thinking in the modern business world. More recently, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us argues that we need to abandon the ineffectual carrot and stick approach, and the importance of doing something we love for a career.

Pink is a contributing editor to Wired magazine.
