Lawyers. Accountants. Radiologists. Software engineers. That’s what our parents told us to be when we grew up. But Mom and Dad were wrong. The future now 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 artistic and holistic “right-brain” abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who falls behind. That’s the argument at the center of this provocative and original book, which uses the two sides of the brain as a metaphor for understanding the contours of our times.
