'The Rules That Make Us' - the importance of culture in our lives

From 18 Mar 26 7:30 PM to 18 Mar 26 10:30 PM

'The Rules That Make Us' - Oliver Sweet talks about the ways in which culture influences the ways in which we act, think, believe and buy

Oliver Sweet is one of the world's leading business anthropologists. He works with brands such as Coke, Ikea, Google and Dyson, as well as local councils and national governments, to reveal the secrets behind our decision making.

Why do we do what we do? We might think it's our unique personality and individual differences that guide our choices, but more often than not, it's actually culture shaping our behaviour. From the ways we bring up children to the products we buy, the culture we live in creates who we are.

In his new book The Rules That Make Us, Oliver reveals the secrets to successful people-watching and how we can better understand consumers, voters and our relationships. 

Oliver Sweet explains 'The Rules' and how he has discovered them at The Chiswick Calendar's Media Club on Wednesday 18 March at 7.30pm in the Boston Room.
