Daniel H. Pink (born July 23, 1964) is an American author. He has written six books, four of them The New York Times bestsellers. He was a host and a co-executive producer of the 2014 National Geographic Channel social science TV series Crowd Control.[1] From 1995 to 1997, he was the chief speechwriter for Vice President Al Gore.[2]
Early life and education
Pink grew up in Columbus, Ohio and graduated from Bexley High School in 1982.[3][4] He is also a 1986 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Northwestern University, where he was a Truman Scholar.[5] He received a Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School, where he was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law & Policy Review.[6]
Upon graduating law school, Pink immediately began working in politics and economic policy. From 1993 to 1995, he was special assistant to Secretary of Labor Robert Reich.[7] From 1995 to 1997, he served as chief speechwriter for Vice President Al Gore.[8] In 1997, he quit his job to go out on his own, an experience he described in the 1998 Fast Company article, "Free Agent Nation," which grew into his first book.[9]
