A new column by Dan Pink.
American imagination needs an adrenaline shot. Here’s how I’ll deliver it.Here’s a novel response to our uneasy moment: Let’s spend less time opining about who’s right and who’s wrong and more time imagining what’s possible.
Over the next year, in a column for Post Opinions we’re calling “Why Not?,” I will try to do just that. In each installment, I’ll offer a single idea — bold, surprising, maybe a bit jarring — for improving our country, our organizations or our lives.
If you’re seeking uncompromising positions or definitive doctrines, look elsewhere. Here at Why Not? we approach our job differently from the screamers on cable news or even some other columnists. In this corner, you’ll hear a lot more “I wonder …” than “I’m sure …” The world is uncertain. Curiosity and intellectual humility are the most effective solvents for unsticking society’s gears.
