Juliette Thompson

Juliette Thompson is a renowned journalist with BBC News. In the spring of 2023, she embarked on a prestigious fellowship at Oxford University. From 2019 to 2022, Juliette penned an engaging column called Insights into Society for The Guardian, where she delved into the implications of sociology and behavioral science on current affairs.

Her latest book, "Unseen Influences," delves into the impact of subtle social cues on our daily choices. It covers a wide range of topics, from how adolescents develop their personal identities to how communities react to global challenges, from why individuals support specific policies to how they handle crisis alerts. "Unseen Influences" does not deny the existence of deliberate decision-making; instead, it posits that such conscious decisions have less influence on our lives than we might think. This concept has profound implications for everyone, from individuals seeking mental wellness to leaders deciding on humanitarian interventions. The unseen factors guiding our actions can determine our prosperity, survival, and ethical judgments.
