If you haven’t read A Whole New Mind, by Daniel Pink, run out and get it now. Or have Amazon expedite it to you. It’s the book Po Bronson, Tom Peters, Seth Godin, and scores of other leading edge thinkers are raving about. It explains how the era of “left-brain” dominance - and the Information Age it engendered - is giving way to a new world in which artistic and holistic “right-brain” abilities distinguish between tomorrow’s winners and losers.   In this new world - one of high concept and high touch - creators and empathizers end up with the long end of the stick.

If you haven’t yet tried meditation, Pink is another in a growing army of authorities saying that it is a powerful tool in driving right-brain functionality.
