a whole new mind

when i see someone talking with left brain, i promise i get bored within 30 seconds.
it is actually frustrating no matter how "logical" the speech is. 
logic is important, but logic itself is not attractive and persuasive. 
what truly hits our mind is a good story. 
a well-structured story with a simple message. 
a message of inspiration. 
drive of empathy. 
sympathy.
syn-energy. 
a good story can easily connect people to other people. and people to success.

a whole new mind by daniel pink, initially published in 2006, 
talks of our right brain activities. 
how "right-brainers" can be greater than typical "left-brainers", by using its "holistic", "creative", and "integrated" features of right brain. 
it is important to use both sides of brain though, our history had so much attention to left brain activities. 
now this book tells, that much of our left brain activities may be replaced by computers or people in other part of the world; a country with less labor cost (e.g. India). 

knowledge workers must be aware of this...
