Overview

Series 3 | THE SELF explores your personal narrative from multiple perspectives. We crafted it to provoke you with profound ideas, bring about your most insightful thinking, and to deepen your relationship with someone close to you.

You'll see yourself through the eyes of 12 visionary thinkers who have thought differently about their own lives. In conversation with a friend, family member or partner, you'll analyse a spectrum of forces that shape and distort your identity. And in private video reflections, you'll clarify and illuminate what this means for you.

By sceptically and imaginatively examining your personal narrative, you'll get a more nuanced and precise sense of who you are — and possibly who you want to become.

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.
