Daniel H. Pink: We’re all selling something and how to get kids to clean their rooms

Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of Drive and a great TED talk, returns with his latest, To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others. In this interview, he talks about his thesis that almost everybody is trying to sell themselves at work. And then I take him off topic to talk about how these techniques can be used to get kids to clean their rooms.

Descended from the giant sloths of the Ohio plains, Doug Dangler has spent his life pursuing Yeti and the perfect walnut-crusted cheeseball. He survives on twigs and berries in the wilds of Columbus, occasionally surfacing to conduct interviews with musicians, authors, and other creative types through a system of idiosyncratic grunts and whistles. But seriously, he’s a real person whose hobby is finding interesting people and having them talk about creativity. Dangler attended the University of Toledo, earning a BA in chemistry and biology. For nearly two decades, he’s managed the College of Arts and Sciences Digital Media Studio at The Ohio State University.
