Oprah Talks To Daniel Pink

I was looking through the new December issue of O Magazine and I thought this interview was very interesting. Are you a left or right brained person? Actually, I always have a hard time remembering which is which...does that make me a lame brain? Probably!

A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future, by business and technology writer Daniel Pink. Daniel, a former chief speechwriter for Vice President Al Gore, presents a convincing argument that our country is entering a new era—the so-called Conceptual Age—during which right-brained skills such as design and storytelling will become far more crucial than traditionally left-brained skills such as accounting and computer programming.
