Welcome to the Sherwood Report

About me:

I’m the co-author of two New York Times bestselling books, NurtureShock, a book about the science of child development, and Top Dog: The Science of Winning and Losing, which explores the science of competition and performing under pressure. Additionally, I have written articles on topics such as creativity (which I am fascinated by), the science of humility (which I love), and “Everybody gets a trophy” programs (which I hate), for the New York Times, Washington Post, New York, Newsweek, Time, and US News & World Report, and elsewhere.

While I took a couple of years off from writing to go work in the Pentagon (Go, Navy!),

I love nothing more than sharing the science I learn, which is why I’m excited to be writing Sherwood along the way.

At the same time, I lecture and consult for leaders on their challenges on helping their people and companies thrive.

For more about me, my consulting work, or press inquiries, please check out my website; and if you’re interested in having me speak at your event, contact my speaking agent, Leading Authorities.

About Sherwood:

There will be a monthly Sherwood Report available to all, and paid subscribers will get more content. (Check the subscribe now button below and website for more information. I am also already planning on additional content, so please bear with me as I get the kinks worked out on that front.)

You’re free to print and re-post these, but please attribute them to me/Sherwood, and if you’re sharing them with a large audience, it would be great if you let me know.

The additional posts (for paid subscribers) will have a more free-flowing approach, depending on the topic.

This is the second iteration of the Sherwood Report, so the first posts will include uploads of some of those earlier newsletters.

(If you’re a NurtureShock reader, yes, there will be some parenting ideas tucked in along the way. And feel free to let me know if you want more.)
