Howard Gardner 5 Minds for the Future Reading Response 3/22/10
Gardner does an excellent job in this book of fleshing out the five minds and illustrating their importance. He does this by drawing on his formidable erudition and giving a wonderfully diverse range of great examples. His writing is also exceptionally clear and the book is very well organized. As a result, I found it very easy and enjoyable to read.
I am fascinated by Gardner's ideas. The focus is more on the discipline, academics, and ensuring synthesis in learning. I think this reading is worthwhile for any educator. It is very convincing regarding the need for us to discipline our minds for the betterment of ourselves (both individually and collectively). I like the way he is able to pull a reader out of ignorance. He offered some concrete methodologies for healthy cohesion in the home and in society at large.
