The author of Free Agent Nationhas crafted another amazing forecast on the future of work in the US, and what you'll need to succeed - specifically, R-directed thinking. The new book is titled A Whole New Mind.
According to Dan, "a funny thing happened while we were pressing our noses to the grindstone: The world changed. The future no longer belongs to people who can reason with computer-like logic, speed, and precision. It belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind. Today - amid the uncertainties of an economy that has gone from boom to bust to blah - there's a metaphor that explains what's going on. And it's right inside our heads."
About Dan
Daniel H. Pink is the author of A Whole New Mind, the groundbreaking guide to surviving, thriving, and finding meaning in an outsourced, automated, upside down world. Now in its fifth North American printing, A Whole New Mind will also be published this year in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia/New Zealand, Brazil, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom. Dan's first book, Free Agent Nation, about the growing ranks of people who work for themselves, was a Washington Post nonfiction bestseller and business bestseller in the U.S., Canada, and Japan. He is a Contributing Editor at Wired. His articles on business and technology have also appeared in The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, and other publications.
A popular speaker, Dan has lectured on work, business, and economic transformation to corporate, association, and university audiences around the world. He's provided analysis on dozens of television and radio broadcasts; including CNBC's "Power Lunch," ABC's "World News Tonight," NPR's "Morning Edition," and American Public Media's "Marketplace." And as an independent business consultant, he's advised start-up ventures and Fortune 100 companies on recruiting, business trends, and work practices. A free agent himself, Dan held his last real job in the White House, where served from 1995 to 1997 as chief speechwriter to Vice President Al Gore. He's also worked as an aide to U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert B. Reich, an economic policy staffer in the U.S. Senate, a legal researcher in India, and a latrine builder in Botswana.
He received a B.A., with honors in linguistics, from Northwestern University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and a J.D. from Yale Law School. To his lasting joy, he has never practiced law. Dan lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife and their three young children.
