FREAKONOMICS STEVEN LEVITT JOINS GLADWELL AT THE GROWTH FACULTY ONE DAY SEMINAR

INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF THE TIPPING POINT MALCOLM GLADWELL IS COMING TO AUSTRALIA!

International best seller Malcolm Gladwell who coined the term ‘Tipping Point’ and went on to write ‘Blink’, ‘Outliers’, ‘David and Goliath’ and ‘What the Dog Saw’ is coming to Australia to speak with Steven Levitt, Economist and Author of ‘Freakonomics, and’ SuperFreakonomics, at  The Future: Disrupted & Reimagined, a one day seminar in Melbourne on Monday December 4th and Sydney on Wednesday 6th December presented by The Growth Faculty.

The Future: Disrupted & Reimagined is a powerful one-day seminar which blends a combination of economics and behavioural science to decode what drives human behaviour, motivation and success.  Gladwell has been named one of the 100 most influential people by TIME magazine and one of the Foreign Policy’s Top Global Thinkers. He explored how ideas spread in The Tipping Point, decision making in Blink, the roots of success in Outliers, and in David and Goliath, he examines our understanding of the advantages of disadvantages, arguing that we have underestimated the value of adversity and over-estimated the value of privilege.

Gladwell’s next book was a 10-part podcasts of the Revisionist History  where Malcolm re-examined an overlooked or misunderstood aspect of past events. He has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996. He has won a national magazine award and been honoured by the American Psychological Society and the American Sociological Society. 

Levitt invites audiences to go beneath the surface of modern business practices. Through witty, first-rate storytelling, Levitt exposes new ways to create behaviour change, the incentives that work and don’t work and the value in asking unpopular questions . He is a tenured professor in the University of Chicago's economics department and was the 2003 recipient of the American Economic Association’s prestigious John Bates Clark Medal, given to the country's best economist under 40.

Two of the most influential minds of our times converge; burning curiosity, alarming intuition and an appetite for exposing concealed truths in the seemingly mundane, these two masterful storytellers explain the hidden side of everything.The Future: Disrupted & Reimagined blends a combination of economics and behavioural science to decode what drives human behaviour, motivation and success. It demonstrates that these stories are more surprising and fascinating than we could have imagined. 

The Future: Disrupted & Reimagined is  on Monday 4th December from 8 am to 3.30pm at the MCEC Melbourne and on Wednesday 6th December at the ICC Sydney.  One day delegate tickets start from $795 each.
