Back in October of last year, I did a post on Daniel Pink’s book “A Whole New Mind”. Recently, Luciano Passuello, author of Litemind, created his own mindmap of Daniel Pink’s book. And it’s fantastic!
Here’s a sample of the map:
Central to Daniel Pink’s book are what he calls “Six Senses” or aptitudes.
As Pink puts it, “In the Conceptual Age, we will need to complement our L-Directed [Left-brain] reasoning by mastering six essential R-Directed [Right-brain] aptitudes. Together these six high-concept, high-touch senses can help develop the whole new mind this new era demands.”
Luciano, in his blog post, does a wonderful job summarizing the six R-Directed aptitudes.
As he states: ”And this is what I most enjoy about the book: you can use the six aptitudes as a framework for developing and assessing how your skills measure up.
Here are the six aptitudes:
- Design (not just function). Create solutions that go beyond providing the desired utility, but that are enriched with significance and pleasantness.
- Story (not just argument). Create compelling narratives, enriching dry facts with emotion.
- Symphony (not just focus). Synthesize and put pieces together, combine seemingly unrelated ideas and be able to see the big picture.
- Empathy (not just logic). Be in the other guy’s shoes and learn to intuit feelings and read emotions.
- Play (not just seriousness). Blur the solid line between work and play and embrace well-being, lightheartedness, laughter, games and humor.
- Meaning (not just accumulation). Transcend the quest for material accumulation and pursue more significant desires. Find meaning in life and develop your intuition.”
Luciano provides several ways to experience his Whole New Mind mindmap:
