Daniel H. Pink is the author of a three provocative books on the changing world of work.
His first book was Free Agent Nation: The Future of Working For Yourself. This book chronicled the phenomenon of people choosing to work as free agents instead of as corporate employees. Pink traveled coast to coast, interviewing people forging the way as free agents.
His newest work is The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need, the first American business book in the Japanese comic format known as manga. This book is interesting because of the visual format and the cult-like following it has created. I will post a synopsis of this book, too.
Before that, Pink wrote A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future, a long-running New York Times and BusinessWeek bestseller that has been translated into 16 languages.
Dan's articles on business and technology appear in many publications, including the New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, and Wired, where he is a contributing editor. He has provided analysis of business trends on CNN, CNBC, ABC, NPR, and other networks in the U.S. and abroad. He also lectures to corporations, associations, and universities around the world on economic transformation and the new workplace.
A free agent himself, Dan held his last real job in the White House, where he served from 1995 to 1997 as chief speechwriter to Vice President Al Gore. He also worked as an aide to U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich and in other positions in politics and government.
He received a BA, with honors, from Northwestern University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and a JD from Yale Law School. To his lasting joy, he has never practiced law.
Dan lives in Washington, DC, with his wife and their three children.
