His similarly popular course on business storytelling has garnered invitations to present at a wide range of organisations, including LMVH, Oracle, Adobe, Expedia, Publicis Sapient, Wunderman Thompson, Jane Street and the European Parliament.
Storr is the author of six widely acclaimed books including Selfie and The Status Game, and he also collaborates with high profile figures as a ghostwriter and story consultant. His journalism has appeared in titles such as the Guardian, Sunday Times, New Yorker and New York Times. He has been recognised with numerous awards, including the National Press Club award for excellence, the AFM award for Best Investigative Journalism and prestigious honours from Amnesty International and the One World Press Awards for his work on sexual violence against men.

We are living in an age of heightened individualism. Success is a personal responsibility. Our culture tells us that to succeed is to be slim, rich, happy, extroverted, popular – flawless.
The pressure to conform to this ideal has changed who we are. We have become self-obsessed. And our expectation of perfection comes at a cost. Millions are suffering under the torture of this impossible fantasy.
It was not always like this. To explain how we got here, Will Storr takes us on a journey across continents and centuries. Full of thrilling and unexpected connections between history, psychology, economics, neuroscience and more, Selfie is an unforgettable book that makes sense of who we have become.
