Welcome to Stewart’s Newsletter by me, Stewart Forsyth. I work as an organisational psychologist and executive coach. And I write about how personality and evolution shape our psychology.

Recent writing covers the research behind Richard Wrangham’s ‘Death to Tyrants’ theory of human evolution (my label, not his), why populist leaders follow a standard playbook, and an analysis of the personality of guerrilla leader Nancy Wade (mean and bold, but also principled).
