      The age of left-brain dominated "knowledge workers" is fading. We are entering a new era where right-brain thinking will revolutionize the worker and the workplace. Educators can employ strategies to help students improve their right-brain thinking.

      Pink explains the six senses of right-brain thinking and includes exercises to develop them.

      DESIGN
      Design is everywhere and in everything. Today's technology makes design accessible to everyone. The rapid turnover of new products and technology calls for greater innovation in design.

      STORY
      Roger C. Schank, a cognitive scientist says, "Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they are ideally set up to understand stories."Storytelling has always played a strong role in preserving cultural tradition. Stories are easily remembered because they not only capture information and knowledge, but context and emotion as well.

      SYMPHONY
      Symphony is the ability to synthesize; to put pieces together. People who thrive in this environment see relationships among diverse disciplines and bring those relationships together as new, innovative products.

      EMPATHY
      Empathy is the ability to imagine yourself in someone else's role and to attempt to experience what they are experiencing. Good leaders are those who can empathize with their constituents.

      PLAY
      Work and life in general has become too serious causing people to suffer the symptoms of mental and physical stress. The return of play and humor as exemplified in the explosive popularity of video gaming helps to relieve stress enabling workers to become more healthy and
      creative.

      MEANING
      What people are really looking for is not success or more money. What people are really seeking is meaning in their lives and work.

Book Description

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.
