Date Summary: 1 Session on 8/10/2010.
Lawyers. Accountants. Computer programmers. That’s what our parents encouraged us to become when we grew up. But Mom and Dad were wrong. The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind. The era of “left brain” dominance, and the Information Age that it engendered, is giving way to a new world in which “right brain” qualities - inventiveness, empathy, meaning - predominate. That’s the argument at the center of this provocative and original book, which uses the two sides of our brains as a metaphor for understanding the contours of our times.
In this insightful and entertaining book, Daniel H. Pink offers a fresh look at what it takes to excel. "A Whole New Mind" reveals the six essential aptitudes on which professional success and personal fulfillment now depend, and includes a series of hands-on exercises culled from experts around the world to help readers sharpen the necessary abilities. This book will change not only how we see the world but how we experience it as well.
This KIDS group discussion will look further into what this book’s message means for learning, teachers, classrooms & for “our” kids coming of age in a changing world. The book will be mailed to your home 2 weeks prior to the class. Registration fee includes the cost of the book.
