I help organizations apply the latest findings from the social sciences. I have presented to groups in over 20 countries. My clients include The Gap, General Mills, Mercedes-Benz, United States Department of Defense, and Standard Chartered Bank.

Author

My books cover fascinating aspects of psychology including the itch of curiosity, the upside of unpleasant emotions, and the benefits of being a rebel. My upcoming book is on healthy non-conformity.

My colleagues and I published more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific articles and created various measures for use by researchers and practitioners on curiosity, psychological flexibility, and purpose in life, among others.
