Liberated by this prosperity but not fulfilled by it, more people are searching for meaning. From the mainstream embrace of such once-exotic practices as yoga and meditation to the rise of spirituality in the workplace to the influence of evangelism in pop culture and politics, the quest for meaning and purpose has become an integral part of everyday life. And that will only intensify as the first children of abundance, the baby boomers, realize that they have more of their lives behind them than ahead. In both business and personal life, now that our left-brain needs have largely been sated, our right-brain yearnings will demand to be fed.
From the article "Revenge of the Right Brain". Not only an important article about the future of information workers, Asia, abundance and automation, but it says some pretty important things about our culture, the search for meaning and The Conceptual Age. Adapted from "A Whole New Mind: Moving from the Information Age to The Conceptual Age."
