Whole New Mind is a book on improving creativity and innovation towards improving productivity. Summary of the Book Daniel Pink begins his book by talking about the evolution of businesses and enterprises from the age of agriculture to the present age of creators and empathizes. He tells readers that any business depends on three crucial questions, examining whether the process should be automated, or outsourced or whether the process or product is in demand in an age of abundance. Creativity, he explains, is a result of six different senses, which are: design, story, symphony, empathy, play and meaning. Through these six skills, we can change the way problems are tackled in an organization, utilizing skills to simplify processes altogether. About Daniel H. Pink Daniel H.
