__**A Whole New Mind Notes**__ chapter 4 - Target is a great store for design. LOVE TARGET!!! Outsourcing is a reason for our design need. Before it was a luxury, now it's a need. chapter 5 - Everyone and everything has a story. Storytelling allows you to see the big picture, not just analyze. Wine bottle label example. "Sharpens our understanding of one thing by showing it in the context of something else." chapter 6 - All metaphors, "self made millionaires are four times more likely than the rest of the population to be dyslexic", see the big picture chapter 7 - facial expression example (easy to see the genuine smile), Chapter 8- Laughing can improve our health, increase our profits, and maybe even bring world peace.
