PICKY – Why Curation Is Your Superpower in an Era of Too Much
Embarking on a new book project
Nine years after the release of my first book, THE BUSINESS ROMANTIC, and four years after my second, AGAINST THE TYRANNY OF WINNERS, I’m excited to share that I’m embarking on a new book project.
Titled PICKY and inspired by my work with the House of Beautiful Business, the new book will make the case for curation as a superpower in an era of too much. PICKY will celebrate the power and idiosyncrasy of individual taste in a world increasingly shaped by algorithms and AI, and portray the “curatorial mindset” as the key to leading a more meaningful life — at work and beyond.
I’m truly looking forward to many conversations with famous and unconventional curators alike, and to some serious writing time!
Estimated publication date will be early 2026, and I’m honored to be published by PublicAffairs, an imprint by Hachette Book Group. The book will be in the best possible hands with their editorial director Colleen Lawrie—and I’m picky! 😊Thanks also to my agent Zoë Pagnamenta at Calligraph, LLC for her belief and support and everyone else who helped incubate PICKY, especially my colleague Martha Schabas.
