In 'A Whole New Mind', Daniel H. Pink argues that the future will be dominated by individuals who can leverage right-brain skills such as design, empathy, and meaning in contrast to traditional left-brain functions. The book introduces six essential aptitudes needed for success in the conceptual age, emphasizing a balance between analytical and creative thinking. While the concepts are primarily applicable to developed nations, the author acknowledges that they may not fully align with the context of developing economies like India.
