Right Brain Left Brain

I just finished a very enjoyable book called "A Whole New Mind" by Daniel Pink. Very thought provoking. It talks about how our brain is split in two - a left brain that focuses on logic, sequence, rational stuff, and a right brain that focuses more on the softer skills such as empathy and discerning patterns and relationships. It contends that we moved from an agricultural age to an industrial age to an information age and that we are now moving to what he calls a conceptual age. He suggests that whereas success in the first two ages was dependent on physical strength, success in the information age has been tied to the successful development of the left brain. He goes on to say that if you want to be successful in the conceptual age then you need to supplement the left brain with a more developed right brain. How do you develop your right brain? By focusing on what he calls senses - there are 6 of them including design, story, symphony, empathy, play and meaning. One of the things I have taken from the book is from the meaning chapter. It outlined the view that the meaning of life has as much to do with the journey, as the overall end point. I'm happy to be going to Wipro and to have the opportunity to discover India. I think that's going to make my journey more interesting if nothing else.
