INSIDE THE BOX is out today!
My new book, Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better, is out today!
It has been seven years since I’ve had a book out. In the interim, we had a global pandemic; I became a parent; we went back to the moon; Taylor Swift led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl. A lot has happened.
It is an interesting thing to spend a few years in your head, fascinated by a topic, sharing your ideas with only a tin Read more of this blog post »

of
Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better:
""Think outside the box" is the rallying cry of every creativity seminar and corporate off-site, but should it be? Inside the Box makes a compelling, research-backed argument that constraints don't kill creativity; they ignite it.

“You have people walking around with all the knowledge of humanity on their phone, but they have no idea how to integrate it. We don’t train people in thinking or reasoning.”
― Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World
― Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World
“Modern work demands knowledge transfer: the ability to apply knowledge to new situations and different domains. Our most fundamental thought processes have changed to accommodate increasing complexity and the need to derive new patterns rather than rely only on familiar ones. Our conceptual classification schemes provide a scaffolding for connecting knowledge, making it accessible and flexible.”
