All I know is I’m 58 and still full to the brim with life and passion and an unwillingness to settle, and it’s driving me into poverty and I don’t know what to do about it, because I cannot help caring as much as I do.

I think he’s right that these things (Design, Story, Symphony, Empathy, Meaning, and Play) have gone missing from the way businesses operate and that the results have not been good. I think he’s right that recognition of the value of these skills will result in much higher rates of job satisfaction and employer satisfaction with their employees.

One consequence of watching it for me will be my reading Betty Edward’s Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain .The Pink book, A Whole new Mind, and Bolte Taylor’s lecture have led me to understand for myself how it might be useful for me.
