This memoir by Condoleezza Rice is a personal account of her childhood in Birmingham, Alabama, during the tumultuous 1960s. It highlights the extraordinary love, sacrifice, and educational values of her parents, John and Angelena Rice. The book details her experiences growing up in a segregated society, her early interests in music, ice skating, and academics, and how these influences shaped her future career. Rice also reflects on the broader social context, including the civil rights movement and its impact on her family and community[2][4][5].
In 'A Whole New Mind,' Daniel H. Pink argues that the future belongs to individuals who can master the six essential aptitudes of the right brain: Design, Story, Symphony, Empathy, Play, and Meaning. As the world transitions from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age, these skills become crucial for professional success and personal fulfillment. Pink discusses how forces like abundance, Asia, and automation are driving this shift and provides tools, tips, and exercises to help readers develop these essential abilities[1][2][4].
Kate Griggs discusses the untapped power of dyslexic thinking—and how professionals everywhere can harness it.
