《A Whole New Mind》 Moving from the information age to the conceptual age Daniel H. Pink
─ Preface Lawyers. Accountants. adiologists. 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.
In the tradition of Emotional Intelligence and Now, Discover Your Strengths, Daniel H. Pink offers a fresh look at what it takes for individuals and organizations to excel. Drawing on research from around the world, A Whole New Mind reversals the six essential aptitudes─Design, Story, Symphony, Empathy, Play, and Meaning─on which professional success and personal fulfillment now depend. And it includes a series of tools, tips and hands-on exercises culled from experts to help you sharpen these abilities. This book will expand your mind and enrich your life.
─ The Six essential aptitudes 1.Not just function but also DSESIGN. 不只有功能，還重設計。 2.Not just argument but also STORY. 不只有論點，還有說故事。 3.Not just focus but also SYMPHONY. 不只談專業，還須整合。 4.Not just logic but also EMPATHY. 不只講邏輯，還給關懷。 5.Not just seriousness but also PLAY. 不只能正經，還會玩樂。 6.Not just accumulation but also MEANING. 不只顧賺錢，還重意義。
- Good design is a renaissance attitude that combines technology, cognitive science, human need, and beauty to produce something that the world didn’t know it was missing. (Paola Antonelli, curator of architecture and design, Museum of Modern Art / p. 72)
- There are three types of beings─those who create culture, those who buy culture, and those who don’t give a shit about culture. Move between the first two. / Experience is the most important part of living, and the exchange of ideas and human contact is all life really is. Space and objects can encourage increased experiences of distract from our experiences. (Darim Rashid, one the most world’s most versatile, pro-life, and celebrated designers. P. 92)
- Developing the ability to consciously select designs that connect with our emotions should help us populate our lives with meaningful, satisfying objects and not just more stuff. / Your own spirit. (p. 97)
- Stories have the felicitous capacity of capturing exactly those elements that formal decision methods leave out. Logic tries to generalize, to strip the decision making from the specific context, to remove it from subjective emotions. Stories capture the context, capture the emotions…Stories are important cognitive events, for they encapsulate, into one compact package, information, knowledge, context, and emotion. (p. 101)
- Stories─that’s how people make sense of what’s happening to them when they get sick. They tell stories about themselves. Our ability as doctors to treat and heal is bound up in our ability to accurately perceive a patient’s story. If you can’t do that, you’re working with one hand tied behind your back. (p. 110)
- A scientifically competent medicine alone cannot help a patient grapple with the loss of health or find meaning in suffering. Along with scientific ability, physicians need the ability to listen to the narratives of the patient, grasp and honor their meanings, and be moved to act on the patient’s behalf. (p. 111)
- Listening, after all, is an act of love. (p. 119)
- Symphonic thinking is a signature ability of composers and conductors. Entrepreneurs and inventors have long relied on this ability. (p. 126)
- Meantime, a world teeming with information individual choices and just plain stuff is putting a premium on this aptitude in our personal lives as well. Modern life’s glut of options and stimuli can be so overwhelming that those with the ability to see the big picture─to sort out what really matters─have a decided advantage in their pursuit of personal well-being. / Drawing is largely about relationships. / Drawing is about seeing. (p. 127)
- During each drawing exercise, he glides around the room offering encouragement. “I’m here to keep your left hemisphere quiet. (p. 129)
- Today the top rewards go to those who can operate with equal aplomb in starkly different realms. I call these people “boundary crossers.” They develop expertise in multiple spheres. (p. 130)
- Creativity generally involves crossing the boundaries of domains. The most creative among us see relationship the rest of us never notice.
- The key to success is to risk thinking unconventional thoughts. Convention is the enemy of progress. (p. 133)
- Poets are our original systems thinkers. They contemplate the world in which we live and feel obliged to interpret, and give expression to it in a way that makers the reader understand how that world turns. Poets, those unheralded systems thinkers, are our true digital thinkers. It is from their midst that I believe we will draw to morrow’s new business leaders. (p. 139)
- I am best at what I can’t do. To learn, to act even if that means I will make mistakes. If you want a creative life, do what you can’t and experience the beauty of the
- Empathy is the ability to imagine yourself in someone else’s position and to intuit what that person is feeling. It is the ability to stand in other’s shoes, to see with their eyes, and to feel with their hearts. It is something we do pretty much spontaneously, an act of instinct rather than the product of deliberation. But Empathy isn’t sympathy─that is, feeling bad for someone else. It is feeling with someone else, sensing what it would be like to be that person. Empathy is a stunning act of imaginative derring-do, the ultimate virtual reality─climbing into another’s mind to experience the world from that person’s perspective. (p. 153)
- Trust your intuition, it’s just like going fishing. (p. 162)
- In the IDEO universe, great design doesn’t begin with a cool drawing or a nifty gadget. It begins with a deep and empathic understanding of people. (p. 173)
- I believe the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or that religion, we are all seeking something better in life. So I think the very motion of our life is towards happiness. (by Dalai Lama / p. 211)
- So many of us have satisfied (and over satisfied) our material needs. (p. 213)
- You’re not going to find the meaning of life hidden under a rock written by someone else. You’ll only find it by giving meaning to life from inside yourself. (by Dr. Robert Firestone / p. 216)
- The moral of the story is that change is inevitable, and when it happens, the wisest response is not to wail or whine but to suck it up and deal with it. (p. 218)
- I believe in a new future. / The ideal life is not a fear-fueled pursuit of cheese. It’s more like walking a labyrinth, where the purpose is the journey itself. (p. 222)
