Video Description: Chances are you have bad timing on at least one thing in your life. When you should brainstorm, ask your boss for a raise, have a medical procedure…Daniel Pink spent two years reviewing 700 scientific studies on the perfect timing for just about everything we do and all the decisions we make. He even adjusted several things in his life thanks to his findings. In this interview, he enlightens us on perfect timing, gives us some insight into his writing process and reveals some of his best critics and aids (here’s a hint – they share his same last name).
