Dr. Zachary Stein was trained at the interface of philosophy, psychology, and education, and now works in fields related to the mitigation of global catastrophic risk. A widely sought-after and award-winning speaker, Zak is a leading authority on the future of education and contemporary issues in human development. Some of his speaking invitations can be found on this website. Dr. Stein is the author of several books and many peer-reviewed papers, all of which can also be found here. 

During 25 years of professional activity, Dr. Stein has talked with and visited hundreds of groups, schools, and companies, and he is honored to sit on the board of a handful of non-profit educational organizations. Zak seeks to work with educational innovators doing deep work at the edges of what is possible. These colleagues have spanned the cultural and political spectrum.  

Note on Professional Collaborations with Controversial Figures: Certain groups and individuals Dr. Stein has collaborated with have had controversies discussed on social media in ways that radically distort complex realities. In all cases, these controversies concern alleged events in which Dr. Stein was not involved, occurring before or after his engagement with these groups. Professional due diligence and care are always applied in all cases, especially when ongoing support and collaboration occur. Inquiries concerning these matters can be handled according to standard practices of private third-party mediation involving all parties. Zak does not publicly discuss the ongoings of the organizations and individuals with which he works.
