The Atlas Society Asks Todd Rose Transcript

Todd Rose is the CEO of the nonpartisan think tank Populace and former director of the Laboratory for the Science of Individuality at Harvard University. His bestselling books include The End of Average: How We Succeed in a World That Values Sameness and Dark Horse: Achieving Success Through the Pursuit of Fulfillment. He joined CEO Jennifer Grossman on October 3, 2024, to discuss his latest book, Collective Illusions: Conformity, Complicity, and the Science of Why We Make Bad Decisions, which draws on cutting-edge neuroscience and social psychology research to demonstrate how so much of our thinking is informed by faulty assumptions—making us dangerously mistrustful as a society and needlessly unhappy as individuals.
