New York Times Bestseller An exciting--and encouraging--exploration of creativity from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing 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 (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others ) 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. Review: Get Creative! - An excellent, thought provoking book. I read it in two sittings. Dan Pink writes a lot better than most so-called management gurus. He's also a Democrat, which makes his ideas and scribblings more palatable than most of his contemporaries. If you're already working in a creative capacity or industry, you'll already know/understand what most of Pink is saying. If you're not, it's time to learn. Business and industry in the west is undergoing yet another renaissance. Pink's observations may not be groundbreaking in themselves, but he has successfully identified and documented a sea change in the way we add value to goods and services. During the 80's and 90's it was the turn of the computer geeks and code writers. In the new millennium, it's the right brainers - the creatives, the empathisers and the carers - who will rise to prominence. Pink provides short portfolios of practical ideas for flexing and stretching the right side of your brain: Interesting and diverting for those already of a creative bent, not so sure for some of the hard-nosed, egomaniacal leaders of industry out there. As a Mac advertisement once stated, "You have 206 bones in your body; surely one of them is creative." Buy A Whole New Mind and find out. Review: Libro interessante - Libro interessante. Secondo. Me. Diventa Noioso dopo un po'.

Get Creative!
An excellent, thought provoking book. I read it in two sittings. Dan Pink writes a lot better than most so-called management gurus.

Das Informationszeitalter geht, das Conceptual Age kommt
Der Autor von Free Agent Nation hat wieder einen Blick in die Zukunft geworfen. Die Botschaft seines neuen Buches ist, dass wir uns auf dem Weg in ein neues Zeitalter befinden, das jenseits des Informationszeitalters liegt. Er nennt es, wie der Titel schon sagt, Conceptual Age. Damit meint er ein Zeitalter, in dem es nicht in erster Linie auf Wissen und lineares Denken ankommt, sondern auf Kreativität und Erfindungsreichtum, Empathie und Verständnis von Zusammenhängen. Er belegt das mit einer Fülle von Daten aus aller Welt und allen möglichen Lebensbereichen. Seiner Meinung nach kommt es demnächst auf folgendes an: 1. nicht nur auf Funktion, sondern auch auf Design 2. nicht nur auf Argumente und Fakten, sondern auch auf Geschichten 3. nicht nur auf die Fokussierung auf Einzelheiten, sondern auch auf ganzheitliche Sichtweisen 4. nicht nur auf Logik, sondern auch auf Empathie 5. nicht nur auf Ernsthaftigkeit, sondern auch auf Spiel 6. nicht nur auf Akkumulation von materiellen Gütern, sondern auch auf Sinn und Spiritualität. Nach jedem Kapitel nennt er zahlreiche Websites, Bücher und andere Quellen, mit deren Hilfe sich die nötigen Fähigkeiten trainieren lassen. Obwohl das Buch dicht mit Fakten gefüllt ist, ist es in einem so leichten und eleganten Stil geschrieben, dass es eine reine Freude ist, es zu lesen. Für alle, die sich heute schon auf morgen vorbereiten wollen.
