Join Hugh Mackay to discuss his new book, The Way We Are: Lessons from a lifetime of listening

Australia's leading social psychologist examines our society today and asks timely and urgent questions about its future.

Drawing on thousands of interviews over a lifetime of research, Hugh Mackay, much loved and highly respected social psychologist, presents a compelling portrait of Australia today. He celebrates the march towards gender equality and explains the stubborn persistence.

Inspiring, provocative and powerfully argued, The Way We Are is the most important and uplifting book you'll read all year. It will encourage you to reflect deeply on the question: What kind of society do we want to become?
