If you’ve ever tried to understand why civilizations rise, why movements catch fire, or why humans keep repeating the same grand mistakes and breakthroughs, chances are you’ve already wandered into Howard Bloom territory—whether you knew it or not. Bloom isn’t interested in surface-level answers. He’s after the machinery underneath human behavior: evolution, power, ideas, cooperation, conflict. Long

Some thinkers explain the world. Others expose the wiring behind it. Howard Bloom belongs firmly in the second camp. For decades, Bloom has been obsessed with one central question: why do humans behave the way they do—collectively, not individually? His work cuts across science, culture, politics, creativity, and history, not to decorate conversations, but to dismantle illusions. Heroes don’t
If you’ve spent the last few years binge-watching documentaries about human behavior, doom-scrolling think pieces about why society is unraveling or listening to podcasts that start with “what if everything we know is wrong…” — congratulations. You’re already halfway inside Howard Bloom’s brain. His latest book, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Wanted to Know About Nature Is
Howard Bloom has built a career doing what most thinkers avoid—crossing lines. Not political ones. Intellectual ones. Science into culture. Biology into history. Rock music into evolutionary theory. While most writers specialize, Bloom synthesizes, pulling patterns from places that aren’t supposed to touch and insisting they belong in the same conversation. Before he became an
By Howard Bloom On Monday December 8th the Oxford University Press Journal SLEEP Advances made a startling claim: that, as one headline put it, getting less than seven hours of sleep is linked to shorter life expectancy. In other words, get less than seven hours of sleep per night and you shorten your life. Which means
By Howard Bloom Early Wednesday morning, December 3rd, the AARP, the nation’s leading organization for those over the age of 55, released a report with a radically unexpected revelation. You would think that the loneliest Americans among us would be teenagers who are leaving their families, going off to college, and being forced to build
to Give THANKS By Howard Bloom Why should we give thanks on Thanksgiving? We live in a system much bigger than we are. Our foods come to us courtesy of a sun 95 million miles away, and courtesy of life’s 3.5 billion year evolution. What’s more, our foods don’t just come from California, Florida, Brazil
By Howard Bloom This is not the same world it was on January 20, 2025. Things we are accustomed to are being yanked away. And things we were taught to believe are true are now being called false. Plus some of the things we’re being told are not true at all. The trend in governance is turning upside
By Howard Bloom In September, when Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, sat down for nearly an hour in a private session with Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly, Zelensky asked for American Tomahawk missiles. Then, two days ago, on October 6th, Trump told reporters that before making a decision he wanted to clarify
By Howard Bloom The Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur arrived at sundown on October 1st. It’s the holiest day of the Jewish year. But what in the world is Yom Kippur? It’s the day of atonement. It’s the day when God takes out the accounting ledger he’s keeping of your life, totals up your sins, balances
By Howard Bloom In just two days, September 22nd and 23rd, President Donald Trump’s perception of the Russian war against Ukraine changed dramatically. After speaking at the U.N. General Assembly in New York, President Trump met Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and left with a whole new view of the Ukraine war. Remember February 28th, 2025, just
By Howard Bloom We are witnessing an attempt to destroy America’s constitutional democracy. Something has happened that is very useful to the constitution destroyers: the murder on September 15th in Utah of high profile MAGA promoter Charlie Kirk, leader of the movement Turning Point USA. Thanks to that murder, as Fox’s News’ Jesse Watters says, we seem
By Howard Bloom We may be closer to World War Three than we have been in 42 years. World wars happen when giant alliances face off against each other, with each nation pledged to come to the defense of the other. World War I happened when there were two giant alliances facing off against each other.
By Howard Bloom On September 11th, 2001, author Howard Bloom, the man Britain’s Channel 4 TV calls the Einstein, Newton, Darwin and Freud of the 21st century, stood on the roof of his brownstone in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and watched as the World Trade Center burned. The experience left his gut churning with powerful emotions for which
