#32 Simon Anholt (Good Country, Selfish Country)

Tales from the Departure Lounge

Send us a text

Simon Anholt is the world's leading authority on 'nation brands' having coined the term in the 1990s. He is the founder of a number of global surveys that track the perception of countries and cities, including the Good Country Index and the Nation Brands Index. He joined the TFTDL crew to tell us why killing people is a bad thing, the sign that we've entered the Asian-century, and what yak soup really tastes like.
His TED talk has over 12 million views, he has been a policy advisor for over 60 governments around the world and he even created his own country. He also has a morbid fear of flying. It's time to abandon your prejudices and open your mind to what role each country plays in a globalised world. Can we be less selfish and just be good-er?
Final boarding call: The Faroe Islands (again!)
