. So far I am really enjoying it and it supposes to define how we can integrate left-brain logical thinking with right-brain creativity ability as our jobs change in the future. While I am only in the first third of the book I wanted to get a excellent points from the book up here.The left hemisphere analyzes the details;
The right hemisphere synthesizes the big picture
Or put another way of the ancient Greeks: The Hedgehog and the Fox: The fox knows many things; the hedgehog knows one big thing. The left side is a fox; the right side is the hedgehog.
It details how left-brain thinking has dominated in the last century and how thing are changing. Both side must work together for success in the future. So far the author makes some excellent points and I am excited to finish the book. Things are obviously changing rapidly and they are system changes which our current system is not capable of implementing- so these necessary changes will be resisted.

The United States spends more on trash bags than ninety other countries spend on everything. In other words, the receptacles of our waste cost more than all of the goods consumed by nearly half the world's nations.
Those two statements blew me away.
