Adam Grant, the psychologist behind Think Again, talks to Tim Harford about his new book Vibe and how strong bonds form in a lonely world.
Adam Grant, the organisational psychologist and author of Think Again, talks about his new book Vibe at Troxy in Limehouse on Tuesday 8 December 2026. The economist Tim Harford hosts the conversation.
Grant grew up near Detroit and teaches organisational psychology at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Students there rated him its top professor for seven years running.
He has written six number one bestsellers, among them Think Again and Hidden Potential. His TED talks have more than 35 million views, and his podcasts more than 100 million downloads.
He hosts Re:Thinking and co-hosts The Curiosity Shop with Brené Brown. He has advised leaders at Google, Pixar and the NBA.
Vibe asks why the technology that connects us is driving people apart. Grant argues that similarity is not needed for solidarity, and that closeness does not always take time.
The evening ends with questions from the audience, and each place includes a copy of the book. Harford is an economist and broadcaster and the author of How to Make the World Add Up.
