Great Summer Reading!

I have just read the first three chapters of Daniel Pink's insightful book, A Whole New Mind. He writes an optimistic portrayal of the future for people who are right brain dominant.

Pink begins by giving the reader an informative history of how neuroscience developed its theory of the functions of the human brain. Neuroscientists divide the brain into two halves. The left hemisphere handles logic, sequence, literalness, and analysis. The right hemisphere of the brain takes care of synthesis, emotional expression, context and the big picture.

To my great relief, we humans need to have both sides of our brains functioning well and interacting together for us to become successful thinkers and competent workers. As Pink writes,"yin still needs yang". Pink describes a new Conceptual Age whereby we will utilize both hemispheres, our whole brain , hence , A Whole New Mind.
