PLJ reflection of Daniel Pink video

Today in Honors English period four, we as a class were required to watch a presentation given by Daniel Pink himself. The crowd was generally small, but Pink made remarks that would have pleased a whole stadium. The video was a recording of a live lecture presented by Daniel Pink to an audience in an auditorium. His lecture addressed his whole book “A Whole New Mind” and was condensed down to around an hour (amazing considering his book exceeds the 250 page mark). The topics that Pink touched on were of a familiar nature to me and occasionally, I would recognize specific quotes or props directly from the initial book! Because the film was directly based off the novel, that’s what won my vote; the idea of actually being able to comprehend the discussion beforehand and during significantly added to my pleasure. Daniel Pink is amazing at conveying messages whether it be in the form of motion picture or traditional text; this movie has ultimately and visually helped me grasp Pink’s ingenious points.
