    Once again, I don't agree with some of the major premises of this book, but I love Gardner's five minds of the future: 1) The disciplined mind; 2) The synthesizing mind; 3) The creating mind; 4) The respectful mind; and 5) The ethical mind. If you live and work in a knowledge firm, this book will help you understand the requirements of inspiring knowledge workers.

    I find it rewarding to read Howard Gardner's new book about the kinds of minds that people will need if they are to thrive the ever evolving world and grow. The five minds tou will need: Disciplined, Synethsizing, Creating, Respectful, Ethical.

    A very good book, but for some reasons I find it slow to read. Maybe, it's because I am trying to digest every paragraph? Recommended.

    Just finished chapter 1. It seems an interesting read. Howard Gardner paves the way for constructing and shaping the mindset required for the next era; An era of globalization, intercultural communications and more complex life. Will update you as I progress,
