New York Times bestseller. From the #1 bestselling author of "Drive" and "A Whole New Mind".
"Brims with a surprising amount of insight and practical advice."
The Wall Street Journal
The groundbreaking book that unlocks the scientific secrets of good timing to help you flourish at work, at school, and at home.
Every day we confront a never-ending stream of "when" decisions. When to change jobs. When to schedule a meeting or a class. When to get serious about a person or a project. Yet we make such decisions haphazardly—based on intuition and guesswork. In "When," Daniel H. Pink argues this is exactly the wrong approach.
Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, neuroscience, and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed. How can we use the hidden pattern of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain types of daily breaks dramatically improve our children’s test scores? Why do endings boost motivation and deep meaning? And how can we make time our ally rather than our enemy? Pink distills cutting-edge research and data and synthesizes them into a fascinating narrative that’s packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways. Bursting with big ideas and enduring lessons, When will transform how you think about your past, present, and future.
"Consistently applying the principles laid out in the book could have dramatic impacts on one’s life and on society."
The Washington Post
"(Pink) unpicks compelling patterns... and he includes handy 'time-hacking' advice on how to put the insights divulged into practice."

Daniel H. Pink is the author of several books including the New York Times bestsellers When, Drive, To Sell is Human, and A Whole New Mind. His books have won multiple awards and have been translated into 39 languages. He lives with his family in Washington, DC.
When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Daniel H. Pink is a compelling exploration of how timing shapes success and well-being in ways we rarely recognize. Instead of leaving crucial decisions to intuition, Pink demonstrates that science provides a clear map for knowing when to act, rest, or push forward.
The book explains the powerful influence of biological rhythms and how the structure of the day determines our performance, energy, and creativity. Through studies in psychology, neuroscience, and economics, Pink shows why mornings, afternoons, and evenings affect us differently, and how breaks and recovery moments can drastically improve decision-making, health, and learning.
Pink also delves into the significance of beginnings, middles, and endings, revealing why fresh starts help us reset, why midpoints can either drag us down or fire us up, and why endings give meaning to our lives. He connects these insights to practical strategies that anyone can use, from choosing the best time for a job interview to planning the right moment for collaboration or reflection.
What makes the book stand out is its blend of scientific evidence with engaging storytelling, offering readers not just theory but also applicable tools. Whether in work, education, or personal life, Pink’s framework equips us to turn time into an ally rather than a challenge. The result is a guide that empowers readers to align their daily choices with the science of timing, ultimately leading to more effective, meaningful, and fulfilled lives.
