Chris is the author (with Ian Goldin) of Age Of Discovery: Navigating The Storms Of Our Second Renaissance, the international best-selling guide to the 21st century.
Now is humanity’s best moment. And our most fragile. The same forces that make big gains possible for some of us deliver big losses to others. And they tangle us together in ways that make everyone vulnerable.
In the face of all our crises, we can flourish. Age of Discovery shows us how.

More Audience Reactions
“Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
We had really high expectations and all of us really needed this day to be amazing. Chris really delivered and made this day one of—or maybe even the best—Global Product Developer Day so far.
He combines a vast knowledge together with a humble and curious attitude. He was a perfect match. Everybody was really energized and wanted to get to work immediately to create a tremendous movement across IKEA to see new things.”
“Highly engaging, interesting and entertaining. Chris delivered insights on this complex topic in a way that was accessible to our audience of well-informed non-experts.
A difficult needle to thread, and Chris succeeded.
We all left the room with a better understanding of A.I. technology. More importantly, we left with a better grasp of how to lead our departments through the implications of A.I. adoption. We’ve since received numerous requests from across the Ministry for Chris to help other groups make the same journey.”
“Outstanding. Rich. Relevant. Unique. Chris gives us a profound sense of 'why'.
We work with a lot of inspiring thinkers and innovators but few are able to so effectively capture the attention of our diverse and sometimes divergent audience whilst connecting their individual perspectives to our shared purpose - and he can achieve it all in just 15 minutes.”
“Enthralling and enlightening.
One of the most interesting and thought-provoking keynotes that we make available to our most important global clients. Visionary and very inspiring.”
“Wonderful. Insightful. Humorous. Topical—and out of the realm of our normal addresses.
My board members are still talking about your remarks. I cannot recommend you enough to other groups. You were even more than I had hoped for. We are lucky that you are willing to spend time starting dialogues about how to predict the changes we may see.”
TED Talks
In 2019 Chris was invited by TED to rethink the whole social media debate.
He threw down a provocative gauntlet. Let social media run amok. What it breaks already needs fixing. At least now we can no longer ignore the real problem: our truths have become too simple and too weak. The solution isn’t to purge fake news from society. It’s to strengthen our truths.
Watch the talk and join the global search for stronger truths.
