A Whole New Mind
Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future
As routine work is automated or offshored, Pink argues the premium shifts to design, empathy and meaning, the right-brain skills.
Pink argues that the era rewarding left-brain, analytical, rules-based work is giving way to one that prizes right-brain capacities: design, story, empathy, play and meaning. As routine knowledge work is automated or sent offshore, he says, the durable advantage shifts to the abilities computers and low-cost labour cannot easily replicate. The book lays out six such aptitudes and makes the case for cultivating them, a prescient argument that has only sharpened in the age of AI.
