Just as we were getting used to the information age, Daniel Pink tells us that it is ending. With it goes our focus on charts, statistics, and linear thinking. Traditional "left-brain" activities like logic, analysis, and repetitive production are being turned over to robots, computers, and offshore labor. The valued skills of 21st century will be those of the right brain: empathy, design, synthesis, and contextual thinking. Author and lecturer Daniel Pink tells you: How abundance, Asia, and automation are changing the world; Why "routine" is the scariest word in the English language; How old line companies like GM and Proctor & Gamble are responding; What six abilities matter most in the emerging age.

Today I watched a butterfly gently flapping its wings. Could it be that the fragile regular flapping is influencing weather patterns over a distant part of South Africa? Did it bring last night’s welcome rain?

I was challenged to reflect upon the fact that things created in the Right Brain seem to last much longer than Left Brain responses.

“Cognitive neuroscientists at Drexel and North Western Universities have found that the flashes of insight that precede “Aha” moments are accompanied by a large burst of neural activity in the brain’s right hemisphere.” So writes David Pink in his book “A whole new mind”.
