My research explores why children are more creative than computer AI--and how to use literature, art, and stories to increase innovation, resilience, and joy. I work with teams at UPenn Wharton, US Army Special Operations, Hollywood, Silicon Valley AI startups, trauma nurses, and public elementary schools. I'm the author of Wonderworks (Simon & Schuster, 2021) and Storythinking (Columbia University Press, 2023) and dozens of peer-reviewed articles in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Harvard Business Review, etc.
