"A Whole New Mind" by Daniel H. Pink

This book was so good that I am tempted to listen to it again. Mr. Pink talks about the importance of apply both a left- and right-brain approach to life and work in this "Conceptual Age".  Mr. Pink does not discount left brain thinking; rather, he feels that we must use both sides to survive in this new age.

He discusses 6 attributes needed by 21st century workers to survive and prosper which include:

1.  designing
2.  story telling
3.  empathy
4.  big picture
5.  play
6.  meaning/purpose

At the end of each chapter, Mr. Pink provides resources and exercise to furter learn and apply what he covered. 

I strongly recommend this book.
