Analysis- A Whole New Mind

Dan Pink's vivid examples prove Americans are headed towards more right-directed thinking and away from left-dominant thinking as in the past. First Pink says, "on average, everybody who can drive has a car of his own." This detail explains that while automobiles were a luxury in the past, today, they are very common. His overall point, that abundance has made us more right-brain dominant, is justified by this statement because now we expect more out of our cars. Today, we not only want our cars to function properly, but also look nice and have custom accessories. The wide variety now available in stores also makes us look for more in our products. Pink illustrates this vast variety by listing the televisions available Best Buy, "plasma, high-definition, flat panel-that began with a 42-inch screen and escalated to 47-inch, 50-inch, 54-inch, and 65-inch versions." There are so many choices for common items such as TVs. Americans have such a large selection of goods to choose from so why not search for the best? The one that is the most fashion-forward or sleek. The one that inspires "beauty, spirituality, and emotion."
