Dan Heath

Dan Heath is an American author whose work centers on decision-making, communication, behavior change, and problem-solving. He is best known for coauthoring Made to Stick, Switch, Decisive, and The Power of Moments with Chip Heath, and for writing Upstream; several of his books became New York Times bestsellers.

Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore

Dan Heath built his career at the intersection of ideas, behavior, and practical change. Educated at the University of Texas at Austin and Harvard Business School, he first worked as a researcher and case writer at Harvard, then co-founded Thinkwell in 1997, an education company that reimagined college textbooks. Another important institutional home came through Duke University, where he became a senior fellow at the Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship, a role that connected his writing to leaders trying to solve real-world problems in the social sector. Those experiences gave his later books their characteristic blend of research, storytelling, and operational usefulness. ((https://danheath.com/?utm_source=openai))
