My three questions for Dan Pink?
1. What led you on your search to tackle this concept?
2.How do your feel religion or the lack thereof fits abundance? Just what are pattern recognizers?
3. When I offer children's programs should I now be focusing on imagination, joyfulness, and social dexterity and not so much on early literacy?
BRIEF SYNOPSIS-This book reminds me of The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman. It reminds us that the world is constantly is flux and we also need to be in a state of change. In this instance, the book focuses on the work world. The demand for left brained , information workers will be replaced by a demand for right brained conceptual workers.
THOUGHTS: I loved some of the facts and statistics on the text. Is the route to holistic medicine a part of the idea? Will my son in pharmacy school need some classes on this type of medicine? Now I can understand why math teachers are being imported from the Philippine's to work in the inner city. I am a baby boomer(birthday today!) and I truly agree that more of my life to behind me. And IF I had grandchildren, I would be spending much more time with them and much less time on career and the rush that goes with it!
PS If and when I get time, I would like to finish the book!

Happy Birthday! I really would like to hear Dan Pink's answer to your question for the third chapter. Since I also do story times and there is a huge push for early literacy skills in story time right now I wonder if he would feel that's moving a bit too left brain for the right brain needed for future sucess.
