In this video, I share 11 books to read in 2026—not as a routine list, but as a response to the world we’re stepping into.

Work is evolving. Technology is accelerating. Attention is fragmented. And the skills that carried us this far may not be the ones that carry us forward. So this isn’t about reading more. It’s about reading what matters now.

Each of these books offers a way to think more clearly, make better decisions, and stay grounded while everything else speeds up. Some will challenge how you...

What should humans do when AI can do almost everything?

Uploaded 12-03-26

AI tools can now generate text, images, code, music, and ideas at astonishing speed. If machines are getting better at producing answers, what will humans still be good for?

- Asking better questions
- Developing good taste
- Iterating relentlessly
- Composing ideas into something meaningful
- Allocating human and machine talent
- Acting with...

In this video, I'm tackling a question that's been bugging me for years: why do your best ideas always seem to show up at the exact wrong moment? Not when you're sitting at your desk trying to be brilliant — but in the shower, on a walk, right as you're drifting off to sleep.

Turns out, this isn't a you problem. It's a science problem. And once you understand what's actually happening in your brain, you can stop fighting it and start designing your day around it.

AI can now make almost anything — 100 logos from one sentence, a song in seconds, three times as many books published as before ChatGPT. But when making gets cheap, judgment gets priceless, and the only thing separating the good from the forgettable is someone with the taste to tell them apart. Dan Pink breaks down why taste is the one skill AI can't replicate, and the three rules for building it.

What if the way we motivate people is mostly wrong?

That was the argument at the heart of Drive. But fifteen years later, too many companies, schools, and families stubbornly cling to the old ways.

So, I made a video revisiting the book and highlighting the seven ideas that still matter most.

The core lesson: You don’t install motivation in people. You create the conditions for it.

In October 2005, a soccer player took a microphone into a locker room and said something that changed his country.

I've been thinking about that moment all month, because as I watched the World Cup unfold across North America, I kept noticing things that had nothing to do with the score. So this video is about three things I learned — about bias, about joy, and about how quickly "them" can become "us." It turns out the world's biggest sporting event might be the wo...

We all know that feeling — someone clips their nails on the train or takes a speakerphone call in a quiet car, and you wonder: is there actually a right way to behave in public? Turns out, yes. Sociologists and economists have been studying these exact situations for decades, and I've turned their findings into six rules I'd make law by Friday if anyone put me in charge.
