Diane Coutu studied literature at Yale and then philosophy, politics, and economics at Oxford. She worked at RAND before returning to Europe as a foreign correspondent with TIME and The Wall Street Journal Europe. Moving to McKinsey’s European office/think tank in Brussels during the integration of the Single Market, she returned after two decades to the US and to journalism at Harvard Business Review, where she became that magazine’s first psychology editor. Over her career as a journalist and editor, she has interviewed a wide variety of people – including Princess Margaret, Manfred Rommel, Garry Kasparov, Twyla Tharp, Richard Dawkins, Doris Kearns Goodwin, and Jack Welch. She has been awarded fellowships to American psychoanalytic institutes and was a Rhodes Scholar.
