“A deep dive into the science of friendship, companionship, and love. The world needs this book now more than ever.”Reese Witherspoon

Adam Grant has changed the way millions of people think about work, success and human behaviour. Through his bestselling books, including Think Again and Hidden Potential, his ideas have transformed how leaders make decisions, how organisations build cultures, and how individuals unlock their potential. His TED Talks have been viewed more than 35 million times. His podcasts have surpassed 100 million downloads. And as a professor of organisational psychology at Wharton, he has become one of the world’s most influential public thinkers. 

In his groundbreaking new book Vibe, Grant explores how the technology that has created an unprecedented level of connectivity is increasingly driving us apart. He reveals how we can forge faster, stronger, and longer bonds and explores how our assumptions have led us astray. Similarity is not necessary for solidarity, he says. Chemistry doesn’t always happen quickly. Closeness doesn’t always take time.

Join Adam Grant live this December for a rare opportunity to explore the science of human connection in conversation. Put your own questions to one of the world’s leading psychologists in an audience Q&A.

Each ticket includes a copy of Vibe (RRP £22). These copies can be collected on the night.

“Vibe is an indispensable guide for enriching your interactions with loved ones, extended family, coworkers, difficult people, and even strangers.”Neil deGrasse Tyson

“Adam Grant gives us a powerful new perspective on not just our place in the world, but our potential to shake it up entirely.”JJ Abrams
