How can we live
better together?
We shape our world. It shapes us in return. I explore how places, systems and technologies shape human relationships, trust and happiness. In my new book, The Trust Experiments, I show how we can design our way out of today’s social trust crisis.
The Trust Experiments Ideas Books SpeakingBooks
I write to help me understand the world. Sometimes it takes a whole book to figure stuff out. My latest book, The Trust Experiments, looks for causes and cures to the social trust crisis. My previous book, Happy City, considered how we can redesign our cities to maximize joy. My first book, The Last Heathen, examined how our ancestors use myth and magic to control our behaviour.
Collaboration
I love working with interdisciplinary teams to solve tricky problems. My favorite collaborators are my colleagues at Happy Cities, who use evidence, design and policy solutions to nurture happier, healthier, more inclusive cities.
Ideas
I write essays and columns to share ideas about modern life, design, psychology, trust and cities.
