He is the author of the vastly influential Herd: How to Change Mass Behaviour by Harnessing Our True Nature (2009) and co-author of I’ll Have What She’s Having: Mapping Social Behaviour (2011).; Doors 11.15; The School of Life Sermons are strictly secular events which explore the values we should live by today.
