Dr. Howard Rankin spent the first ten years of his career as a psychologist at the Institute of Psychiatry’s Addiction Research Unit where he was part of a small team researching the nature and treatment of dependence. Howard has written over 30 academic papers on addiction and was for several years the editor of the journal Addictive Behaviors.

After facing a very challenging situation, Dr. Rankin turned his attention to coaching and writing. His latest books include I Think Therefore I Am Wrong: A Guide to Bias, Political Correctness, Fake News and the Future of Mankind which explores the default setting of the mind and how that can lead us astray, Power Talk: The Art of Effective Communication and Intuitive Rationality: The new behavioral direction of AI with Grant Renier.
