"In Five Minds for the Future, Howard Gardner shows how to master the "five minds" that the fast-paced future will demand - from minds able to synthesize and communicate complex ideas to minds that can respect human differences and fulfill the higher responsibilities of work life and citizenship. Otherwise, we risk being overwhelmed by information, unable to succeed in the workplace, and without the judgment needed to thrive both personally and professionally."
