Roman Krznaric is a social philosopher whose books, including Empathy, The Wonderbox, and How to Find Fulfilling Work, have been published in more than 20 languages. His new book, Carpe Diem Regained, has been described by George Monbiot in The Guardian as 'brilliant - one of those rare books that forces you to ask what the hell you're doing with your life'.

Roman is the founder of the world's first Empathy Museum and of the digital Empathy Library. He is also a founding faculty member of The School of Life and a Research Associate at the Design Against Crime Research Centre at Central Saint Martins college of art and design in London. He has been named by The Observer as one of Britain's leading popular philosophers and his writings have been widely influential amongst political and ecological campaigners, education reformers, social entrepreneurs, and designers.

After growing up in Sydney and Hong Kong, he studied at the universities of Oxford, London and Essex, where he gained his PhD in political sociology. Roman has worked as an academic, a gardener, and a human rights campaigner. He is also a fanatical real tennis player and has a passion for making furniture.
