Dan Pink is the author of “A Whole New Mind — Moving From the Information Age to the Conceptual Age“.
In this amazing book Dan describes why many of the “left brain” jobs are moving to India and Asia (outsourced) and why “right brain” jobs (jobs requiring creativity, non-linear thinking, etc.) are going to soon become more valuable here in the USA.
“This book is a miracle. On the one hand, it provides a completely original and profound analysis of the most pressing personal and economic issue of the days ahead—how the gargantuan changes wrought by technology and globalization are going to impact the way we live and work and imagine our world. Then Dan Pink provides an equally original and profound and practical guidebook for survial—and joy—in this topsy-turvy environment. I was moved and disturbed and exhilarated all at once. A few years ago, Peter Drucker wondered whether the modern economy would ever find its Copernicus. With this remarkable book, we just may have discovered our Copernicus for the brave new age that’s accelerating into being.”

“Right on the money. . . If Daniel Pink is correct about the 21st-century workforce, then all those college majors that cause parents to grimace (art history? philosophy?) will gain newfound acceptance.”
“Well-researched and delightfully well-written . . . laced with humor and profound insights . . . Pink has done a masterful job using both sides of his brain.”
“A very important, convincingly argued, and mind-altering book.”
“Brilliant! Left brain, right brain, whole brain — I love Dan Pink’s brain. Read this book. Even more important, give this book to your children. They need to learn to think like Pink!”
“Wow! This is not a self-help book. It’s way more important than that. It’s one of those rare books that marks a turning point, once of those books you wish you read before everyone else did. Once again, Dan Pink nails it.”
“This is not a book about the future. The insightful analysis contained in A Whole New Mind is about what is happening now and what will guide our decisions in the future if we are tuned to it. Others are implementing these ideas now. This effortless read will challenge you to do the same.”
