THE CONCEPTUAL AGE

RIGHT BRAIN RISING

The two brains understand same statement , situation in different manner

Read the color not name.

ABUNDANCE, ASIA &AUTOMATION

Abundance – the wealth accumulation

Automation – L-directed works are performed by machines easily.

HIGH CONCEPT, HIGH TOUCH

TRANSITION OF HUMAN

QUESTION YOURSELF Can someone else overseas do it

cheaper? Can a computer do it faster? Is what I’m offering in demand in an

age of abundance?

INTRODUCING THE SIX SENSES

In the Conceptual Age, we will need to complement our L-Directed reasoning by mastering 6 essential R-Directed aptitudes

1.  Not just function but also DESIGN2.  Not just argument but also STORY3.  Not just focus but also SYMPHONY4.  Not just logic but also EMPATHY5.  Not just seriousness but also PLAY6.  Not just accumulation but also MEANING

CRITICAL ANALYSIS The concept has been developed mainly

for developed nations. We are a developing economy and the

concept does not completely fit for India. This concept of whole new mind is

definitely approved but the arguments given in the book are poor.

Portfolio given after each chapter of sense to improve that sense in helpful.

MY LEARNINGS

Balance between both side of brains Near future demands far more than

logical thinkers. Be a complete human and utilize your

complete potential Be successful in every arena of life,

personal and professional Be happy& contented .
