I have really enjoyed reading the Whole New Mind. I feel validated.Vindicated. I have had the experience of having my right brain pounded into a wall. No MBA here. Finally, attributes I've always felt were gifts and not defects are getting some street cred.Ironically, these proclivities of mine have been valued by others in not so obvious ways. I am so happy to have been born into this time to see this. My mother never did. My aunt figured out a way to make it work. My dad played both sides but I think his right brain talents are what set him apart.
I was also heartened to read about dyslexics. I own two so it's good to see that they are in style if they so choose. I've also taught quite a few and parents often told me that I was one teacher who valued their student's gifts. Soon those kids will be calling the shots and they'll remember.
