Conceptual Age preparedness

Excellent survey of attributes needed in a more conceptualised view of society. Also good to see Positive Psychology given a write up too

A bright new perspective

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the full narration. The list of books suggested for additional reading is exhaustive and impressive. Would recommend for everyone, especially those like me who have kids just entering secondary school. It would definitely change the way you see their education.

DEFINITELY A RIGHT GOOD READ!

This book may have some flaws, but it is a useful read to get us left brainers out of our complacent and confident ruts...it introduces us to the rest of the world which is well worth exploring. They say we never stop learning, well this book helps give us a bit of a nudge. I for am one am grateful!

Very interesting read

I love books that attempt to predict future behaviour based on anecdotal and imperial evidence. This book does it very well

The age of pursuit of meaning!

I found the topic and concept very interesting and relevant. However, it seemed very padded out and diluted, lacking depth, so I ended up feeling that it didn’t give me much apart from drawing my attention to an area/direction. Would have welcomed more depth and less repetition.
Having said that, I’m glad to have read it, simply due to the reminder of the significance of what is going on in this area.
A good intro for those that haven’t thought about this area before.

left to right

For someone, a complete left brainer, this book was really good. could get some important insights about drivers and abilities needed on the current age. Really recommend for people looking for a change in mindset

interesting for coders.

I'm a Western coder. I've slowly been progressing in my career but this book makes sense why I should leave the coding to someone else and focus more on the big picture. I'd say I have been doing this already but the challenge is getting someone to do it at the same quality and as quick. I'll definitely be working on right brain activities. I've done some of this in the past and I have seen an improvement of my first draft projects.

Fascinating overall

Some of this book was really fascinating. It helped to explain why education needs to change to fit the changing patterns of todays youth with their smartphones but in a positive and constructive way. It was very interesting to hear how the American Military are already harnessing this in a positive way ... I think it is watch this space

A good scope of great knowledge worth having.

An encouragement to go the extra mile with things you wouldn't usually do. Cool

Outdated content

Thé book is not as interesting as the title suggest but moreover it is full
Of totally outdated references and that’s probably why it was on sale
