In April 2008 New York Times best-selling author
Dan Pink gave an energy-packed presentation at the 21st Arts and Public Policy Lecture by the
Americans For the Arts in the Kennedy Center, this year’s lecture was like no other. With great visuals, he made the economic case for the arts in a way that was refreshing and stimulating. Even American soul singer
John Legend was present that evening to encourage Congress to support the arts.
Valuing both sides of the brain was the name of the game. In preparing for the next changing economy based on ideas, creativity and intellect, developing a new brain must be an imperative! As a suppressed artist breaking the chains of my left brain to emerge with full frontal creativity, I felt in company of like minds – Whole New Minds, that is –which happens to be the name of his first book.
Now Dan has a new book, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko. And like a true creative, the book is the first American business book done in the Japanese comic format known as manga.
