Overview

Series 1 | SOCIETY critically considers how society warps your life. We designed it to trigger you with unconventional ideas, engage your creative mind, and to multiply the ways you relate to someone in your life.

You'll examine how society determines your choices through the lens of 12 unique thinkers—past and present. In conversation with a friend, family member or partner, you'll illuminate and decode the myths that distort what you believe. And you'll define your own panoramic viewpoint in a private video journal.

By questioning the chaotic shifts of society and wrestling with its effect on your life, you'll get a genuinely unique perspective on our world.

Are you successful enough?

This conversation explores how your social status creates an illusory sense of success or shame, and challenges you to redefine the status you aspire to achieve.

Inspired by philosopher Alain de Botton.

Why do we have sex?

This conversation examines how society mystifies the meaning of sex and asks you to imagine how sex would change without Hollywood love-scenes or pornography.

How it works in three steps

Learn from the world’s greatest thinkers.

Each week, you'll encounter a pioneering thinker from art, philosophy, science or tech. You'll get their perspective and examine yourself through the lens of their ideas. By integrating their thinking with yours — you’ll refine your own distinctive viewpoint.

Think differently in Norn Conversations.

Invite a friend, family member or partner to join you each week — ideally at home. We'll guide you through the experience. Airplane Mode. 90 minute timer. Music playlists. Powerful questions. You'll stumble upon fascinating insights that change how you see yourself.

Capture your insights in a Private Journal.

Your most original ideas will often emerge the day after your Norn conversation. That's why we designed a new way to capture your thoughts — in private over video, audio or text. Over time you'll form a journal of your most meaningful insights and discoveries.
