SHRM is pleased to offer you the opportunity to meet with your peers and discuss A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future by Dan Pink. The era of "left brain" dominance, and the Information Age that it engendered, are giving way to a new world in which "right brain" qualities like inventiveness and empathy will dominate. In this New York Times and BusinessWeek bestseller, Pink reveals the six essential aptitudes on which professional success and personal fulfillment now depend, and includes a series of hands-on exercises culled from experts around the world to help readers sharpen the necessary abilities. This book will change not only how we see the world but how we experience it as well.

Note: Session is limited to the first 40 registrants and pre-registration is required. Prior to the attending the Book club, you will be required to read A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future by Daniel H. Pink.

Cost: No charge
