I found this book interesting. I'm a right-brainer who has tried to function as a left-brainer most of my life so it's exciting to see value in being right-brained in today's world. ( )

Really enjoyed this book. Made me think a lot about the types of skills I should include in my future professional development, and I love the suggested exercises for improvement. Also made me feel like I missed the boat with much of my education (!), as very little of it was artistically based. ( )

This book provides the frameworks for thinking, learning, and creating in the years to come. I feel as though anyone in the field of education, teaching from little first graders to graduate level courses should read this book to gain insight as to how to prepare students for the newer working environments.

Epigraph
I have known strong minds, with imposing, undoubting, Cobbett-like manners; but I have never met a great mind of this sort. The truth is, a great mind must be androgynous. -- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Dedication
First words
The last few decades have belonged to a certain kind of person with a certain kind of mind -- computer programmers who could crank code, lawyers who could craft contracts, MBAs who could crunch numbers.
Quotations
The result: as the scut work gets off-loaded, engineers and programmers will have to master different aptitudes, relying more on creativity than competence, more on tacit knowledge than technical manuals, and more on fashioning the big picture than sweating the details.
