Understanding Modern Life at a Human Scale

Essays and books on culture, consumer psychology, wellbeing, and the systems shaping modern life, through the lens of psychological and cultural anthropology.

Exploring How People Think, Choose,
and Belong

Daniel Francis explores how psychology and meaning shape how we connect — to culture, identity, and one another.

Through essays, books, and talks, he looks at what shapes trust, loyalty, and lasting connection in an age of distraction.

Author of Being True to You

Daniel’s upcoming book, Being True to You: At Work and in Business, asks a simple but important question:

What if the way you spend your days doesn’t feel like you?

Blending consumer psychology, lived experience, and leadership insight, it explores how true coherence — between self and work, founder and brand, people and place — shapes alignment that actually feels right.

Keynotes on the Psychology of Fit

As a keynote speaker and guest lecturer, Daniel explores how consumer psychology, emotion, motivation, and design shape decision-making — from leadership culture to customer experience.

His sessions are known for being clear, grounded, and practical, leaving audiences with ideas they can carry into their work and everyday life.

Strategic Advisory

Daniel advises organisations on brand meaning, placemaking, and positioning — particularly where psychology, culture, and identity intersect.

His advisory work is research-led, focused on aligning place, purpose, and identity at a human scale.
