Hi. I’m Scott Berkun.
Bestselling author and speaker who explores how we work, create, lead, and live.
Through deep research, thoughtful storytelling, and a healthy skepticism of conventional wisdom, he transforms complex ideas into clear, memorable insights that challenge assumptions without oversimplifying them.
His work has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Wired, NPR, and other leading publications.
Have something in mind? Let’s talk about it.
Author of the New York Times bestsellers“This book will undoubtedly increase your abilities to invent, innovate, inspire, and make things that matter. It’s fun, it’s funny, and it’s phenomenally effective.”
Reality is Broken and SuperBetter
Author of the Nexus Trilogy“A fun, funny, no-BS guide to finding new ideas and finishing them. Instantly useful.”
Creative Director“I just finished — and recommend — Berkun’s latest book, “Why Design is Hard.” the real struggle, the daily grind, is not so much about the work but about contexts, constraints, and personalities that make designers question their very existence.
Scott’s book is concise, breezy, yet filled with excellent strategies for succeeding when the world — or, at least, your organization—is tilted against you.”
