BIOGRAPHY

Jonah Berger is a marketing professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and best-selling author of Contagious: Why Things Catch On and Invisible Influence: The Hidden Forces that Shape Behaviour.

Jonah has spent over 15 years studying how social influence works and how it drives products and ideas to catch on. Why do some things catch on while others fail? What makes online content viral? And why do some products, ideas, and behaviours get more word of mouth than others?

Jonah Berger has taught Wharton’s top-ranked online course, published dozens of articles in top-tier academic journals, consulted for a variety of Fortune 500 companies, and popular outlets like the New York Times and Harvard Business Review often cover his work.

Jonah’s latest book is The Catalyst: How To Change Anyone’s Mind, which introduces a revolutionary approach to change. Successful change isn’t about pushing harder or exerting more energy. It’s about removing barriers. Overcoming resistance by reducing friction and lowering the hurdles to action. In the book, Jonah describes the five hidden factors that impede change, and how by mitigating them, you can change anything.
