Oliver Cope

Oliver Cope is a researcher in psychology who specialises in studying the effects of social media on the attention span. An established keynote speaker, he delivers training in businesses and higher education, sharing his expertise on the science of wellbeing, digital health and attention.

Drawing from his academic background, Oliver aims to make research accessible, sharing the ways that psychology can help us manage the new challenges of modern life. His first book, Ladult: Navigating Safely from Boy to Man, is a self-help book for teenage boys that tackles the big issues facing todays young men head on. His second book, The Art of Focus: Reclaiming Attention, Restoring Peace, focuses on attention, distraction, and the importance of focus in busy modern environments. He has also written for Palgrave's International Encyclopedia of Cyberpsychology, writing chapters on short-form content and digital distraction.

As the information age moves forward at high speed, Oliver's work helps readers stay connected to what really matters whilst making sure they don't get left behind, by living with technology rather than living through it.

Oliver regularly posts pieces to his Substack - Learning to Cope - where he writes blogs about Psychology and culture.
