Pink sets the context for why "left brain" activities are now the work of machines by explaining Drucker's original conception of "knowledge workers." The gist of the book is that as machines increasingly take on - and excel at - "left-directed" tasks, human beings have to strengthen their "right brain" or "right-directed" skills such as design, empathy, and (Drucker's favorite!) synthesis. Pink says that, "the MFA degree is the new MBA." Drucker is mentioned extensively in Daniel Pink’s new book A Whole New Mind, which is the DC/SLA’s next book to discuss (in late July).
