I love this:
1. Recognize “art.” We are surrounded by remnants of imagination and innovation. It may exist in the form of advertising, architecture, physical/material things, products, services, culture, etc. Noticing displays of creativity engages our mind and encourages the application of a new creative outlook. Remember, the world is no more interesting or dull than you are. View yourself as a consultant seeking ways to improve the image, style, brand, and function of what you see and use each day. What would you change? Why? How?<p>So many people ignore this aspect of life, and don't take the time to analyze and interpret the world around them. Awesome post.
Weh - all straight out of Daniel Pink's "Whole New Mind" - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Whole-New-Mind-Right-Brainers-Future/dp/1594481717" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Whole-New-Mind-Right-Brainers-Future/d...</a><p>What to me is a flaw in the thinking though is, that East Asians are supposedly more right-brained than we Westerners are. So it won't necessarily save you.
i think this is an interesting concept...to be honest a lot of people can't or choose not to use their "left brain" .... i agree with healy that creativity gives people the new edge over the eager left-brainers... however, i think that there is still a lot of opportunity for those of us less creative types who do the analytical work well... there are so many people who just don't care to put in time and effort at all and don't do what they say they are going to do... that this provides me an advantage... now if i want to take it to the next level... then yeah... harnessing my creative side is the next step...
