    <body><![CDATA[If you are human (or alien who wants to understand humans better), this book is an absolute requirement. It's completely inspiring as the cobwebs of left brain career expectations blow away and it is made apparant that yes, right brain thinking not only is good, but it wins. The first couple of chapters pretty much just review the justification for what many of us already know: we have a lot of stuff, Asia has the right brain jobs, and much of the remainder is automated. What does that leave us?<br/><br/>Pink does a phenomenal job inspiring us to find our right brain niche in the new era where overseas can do it cheaper and computers can do it faster. The question we should be asking ourselves is what are we offering that provides meaning in this age where we can simply purchase anything materialistic. He introduces the six senses and how to enhance ourselves in these senses of design, story, symphony, empathy, play, and meaning. I'll note now that while i connected very well with the first three, I fail utterly with the last three! However, Pink does a great job in justifying his presentation, and then providing many sources for self-enhancement.<br/><br/>A quick and required read!]]></body>
