>> A Must Read
This is an excellent summary of Gardners life as a thinker and educator While his prose is always graduate level reading the
timeless reference to focusing and staying focused is a needed skill not only for current educators teachers instructors but for everyone wanting to reach a goal As always Garners works stays on the shelf as reference and is referenced frequently
>> The rectangle does not fit the round hole
This modularization of what man needs too succeed in the future just does not make sense to me It feels more like a corporate agenda Probably meant to touch a chord for CEO s and like types so that the author can be hired to lecture to their minions on how they should think
I ve read something like 150 pages of the book and I feel that I m wasting my time
One flaw is that the five mind concepts are quite interdependant and overlapping That just tells me that is most probably not the right approach Try to make sense of it and it will only pose more questions exponentially
Proposals for guidelines I would make would be for example there is not a formula for everything uncertainty is what makes life fun both people and disciplines should approach each other more socially for the bigger picture orchestration of human reality Just as our concious mind comes about because of a wholistic effect of our cells that we ll never understand the earth and our descendants need us to work for a better world Seeing the state of the world today I would not trust a CEO to get the job done
>> Great content tiny fonts
My only problem with the paperback edition of this book is the tiny font size It appears that the hard cover text files were just shrunken down to fit the smaller paperback size Thus while the hardcover edition may have had normal size text in the paperback edition the text has shrunken to a 9 point font or even an 8 point font Talk about eye strain
I ve seen this before with UK editions of US books but this is the worst example I ve seen of a hardcover to paperback transfer in a US edition
