Book: A Whole New Mind
Reading A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future by Daniel H. Pink. Basically he's saying that the job-market dominance of left-brain thinkers like computer programmers, doctors, lawyers, and such will soon fall to the wayside in favor of right-brain thinkers like artists, designers, and those with touchy-feely aptitudes that are more customer service oriented.
Pretty interesting book, and impacts me directly since I've always been a right-brainer but my artistic abilities have been closeted in favor of the more classical career pursuits. It's funny since I'm now studying to be a computer programmer (CS major), so this book is giving me reason to rethink (again) my career choice.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
