In a time of relentless change, there's only one thing that's certain: new challenges and opportunities will emerge that are virtually unimaginable today. How can we know which skills will be required to succeed?

In Five Minds for the future, bestselling author Howard Gardner shows how we will each need to master the "five minds" that the fast-paced future will demand—from minds able to synthesize and communicate complex ideas to minds that can respect human differences and fulfill the higher responsibilities of work life and citizenship. Otherwise, we risk being overwhelmed by information, unable to succeed in the workplace, and without the judgment needed to thrive both personally and professionally.

Complete with a substantial new introduction, Five Minds for the Future provides valuable tools for those who are looking ahead to the next generation of leaders—and for each one of us who is striving to excel in our increasingly complex world.

Howard Gardner is the John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He also holds positions as Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and Senior Director of Harvard Project Zero.

Gardner is best known in educational circles for his theory of multiple intelligences, a critique of the notion that there exists but a single human intelligence that can be assessed by standard psychometric instruments. For over two decades, he and colleagues at Project Zero have been working on the design of performance-based assessments; education for understanding; the use of multiple intelligences to achieve more personalized curriculum, instruction, and assessment; and the nature of interdisciplinary efforts in education. Since 1995, in collaboration with psychologists Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and William Damon, Gardner has studied Good Work-work that is at once excellent in quality, personally engaging, and socially responsible. Building on over 1 ,200 in depth interviews in 9 professions, the Good Work project is now disseminating key insights to students and young professionals.

Gardner is the author of several hundred articles and two dozen books translated into twenty-six languages, including Changing Minds : The Art and Science of Changing Our Own and Other People's Minds; Good Work : When Excellence and Ethics Meet; The Disciplined Mind : Beyond Facts and Standardized Tests, The K-12 Education That Every Child Deserves; Multiple Intelligences : New Horizons; The Development and Education of the Mind; and Making Good : How Young People Cope with Moral Dilemmas at Work (with Wendy Fischman, Becca Solomon, and Deborah Greenspan).

Among numerous honors, Gardner received a MacArthur Prize Fellowship in 1981. In 1990, he was the first American to receive the University of Louisville's Grawemeyer Award in Education, and in 2000 he received a Fellowship from the John S. Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. He has received honorary degrees from twenty-one colleges and universities, including institutions in Ireland, Italy, Israel, and Chile. He is a member of the American Philosophical Association, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the National Academy of Education.
