Product Description
The paperback edition of Daniel H. Pink's groundbreaking book, A Whole New Mind. Described
by reviewers as "an audacious and powerful work," "a profound read,"
"right on the money," and "a miracle," the book reveals the six
abilities individuals must master in an outsourced and automated world.
Several publications named A Whole New Mind one of the best
business books of 2005. It is now being translated into 12 languages --
and will appear across Europe and Asia in 2006. For this
updated and expanded edition, Pink has added dozens of new tools, tips,
and exercises to help individuals and organizations sharpen their
right-brain capacities. Find out why Thomas L. Friedman, author of the
mega-bestseller The World is Flat, calls A Whole New Mind his "favorite business book."
About the Author
Daniel H. Pink is the bestselling author of Free Agent Nation. His articles on work, business, and technology appear in many publications, including The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Slate, Fast Company, and Wired,
where he is a contributing editor. A popular speaker, he lectures to
corporations, associations, and universities around the world on
economic transformation, innovation, and business strategy. Pink lives
in Washington, DC, with his wife and their three children.
From Publishers Weekly
With visionary flare, Pink argues
that business and everyday life will soon be dominated by right-brain
thinkers. He identifies the roots and implications of transitioning
from a society dominated by left-brain thinkers into something entirely
different—although at times, he seems to be exhorting rather than
observing the trend. As a narrator, Pink delivers in a well executed
manner, with occasional hints of enthusiasm. He maintains a steady
voice that is well suited for a business-oriented text, and his crisp
pronunciation and consistent pace keeps listeners engaged and at ease.
Updated with new material. A Riverhead paperback (reviewed online). (Feb.)

From Booklist
"Abundance, Asia, and automation." Try saying that phrase five times
quickly, because if you don't take these words into serious
consideration, there is a good chance that sooner or later your career
will suffer because of one of those forces. Pink, best-selling author
of Free Agent Nation
(2001) and also former chief speechwriter for former vice-president Al
Gore, has crafted a profound read packed with an abundance of
references to books, seminars, Web sites, and such to guide your
adjustment to expanding your right brain if you plan to survive and
prosper in the Western world. According to Pink, the keys to success
are in developing and cultivating six senses: design, story, symphony,
empathy, play, and meaning. Pink compares this upcoming "Conceptual
Age" to past periods of intense change, such as the Industrial
Revolution and the Renaissance, as a way of emphasizing its importance.
