Daniel's new
bestselling book, Stumbling
on Happiness,
is fascinating, counterintuitive, and eminently relevant to coaching.
 He has published numerous scientific articles and chapters, several
short works of fiction, and is the editor of The Handbook of Social
Psychology.
He has been been awarded the Distinguished Scientific Award for an
Early Career Contribution to Psychology by the American Psychological
Association, fellowships from both the Guggenheim Foundation and the
American Philosophical
Society, and has been a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Research in
the Behavioral Sciences. However, he says that his greatest accomplishment
is that he appears just before Dizzie Gillespie on the list of Most
Famous High School Dropouts.
In 2002, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin listed Dan as one
of the fifty most influential social psychologists of the decade, and
in 2003 one of his research papers was chosen by the editors of Psychological
Inquiry as one of four "modern classics" in social psychology.
Dan's research has been covered by The New York Times Magazine, Forbes,
Money, CNN, U.S. News & World Report, The
New Yorker, Scientific
American, Oprah Magazine, Psychology Today, and many others.
He lives in Cambridge Massachusetts with his wife and a lack of pets.
To prepare for the interview, you must read "Affective
Forecasting...Or the Big Wombassa..." and Stumbling
on Happiness.
