This book describes a huge - but mainly undetected - shift now underway. We are moving from an economy and society built on logical, linear, computer-like capabilities of the information age to an economy and society built on the inventive, empathic, big picture capabilities of what is rising in its place, the Conceptual Age. In this book, now in mass paperback format, Daniel Pink describes six essential aptitudes - a whole new mind - that professional success and personal satisfaction will depend on in the new age, which anyone can master.

Dan H. Pink is a contributing editor at Wired magazine and the author of Free Agent Nation. He has also written for The New York Times, Harvard Business Review and Fast Company.
