Described by reviewers as "an audacious and powerful work," "a profound read," "right on the money," and "a miracle," the book reveals the six abilities individuals must master in an outsourced and automated world. Several publications named A Whole New Mind one of the best business books of 2005. It is now being translated into 12 languages -- and will appear across Europe and Asia in 2006.

For this updated and expanded edition, Pink has added dozens of new tools, tips, and exercises to help individuals and organizations sharpen their right-brain capacities. Find out why Thomas L. Friedman, author of the mega-bestseller The World is Flat, calls A Whole New Mind his "favorite business book."

This book describes the fallacy of this approach rose as we pave our way through the 21 Century.

It also defines the two concepts in six core competencies: design, story, sympathy, empathy, play and meaning.

Pink devotes a chapter to each of the six senses, as he finds them,and at the end of each chapter, outlines what he calls a portfolio: a list of resources, exercises and tools to help the reader to the practice of the six senses.
