Yahoo! Finance and The Week

Daniel H. Pink is the author of "A Whole New Mind" which reveals the six abilities white-collar workers must master to survive in an outsourced, automated, upside-down world.

His first book, "Free Agent Nation," about the growing ranks of people who work for themselves, was a Washington Post nonfiction bestseller and business bestseller in the U.S., Canada, and Japan.

He is a Contributing Editor at Wired. His articles on business and technology have also appeared in The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, and other publications.

A popular speaker, he has lectured on work, business, and economic transformation to corporate, association, and university audiences around the world. He's provided analysis on dozens of television and radio broadcasts, including CNBC's "Power Lunch," ABC's "World News Tonight," NPR's "Morning Edition," and American Public Media's "Marketplace." And as an independent business consultant, he's advised start-up ventures and Fortune 100 companies on recruiting, business trends, and work practices.

A free agent himself, he 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's also worked as an aide to U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, an economic policy staffer in the U.S. Senate, a legal researcher in India, and a latrine builder in Botswana.

He received a B.A., with honors in linguistics, from Northwestern University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and a J.D. from Yale Law School. To his lasting joy, he has never practiced law.

He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife and their three young children.
