He is the author of A New Unified Theory of Psychology (Springer, 2011), and A New Synthesis for Solving the Problem of Psychology: Addressing the Enlightenment Gap (Palgrave McMillian, November 2022). His scholarly work has been published in the field’s best journals, and he has developed a popular blog on Psychology Today, Theory of Knowledge, which has received over nine million views.

🗣️ Alexander Bard
Bard's central subject is the relationship between man and technology, both historically and far into the future. He has time and time again predicted new technological revolutions and continues to do so. As a consequence of this, Bard has over the years developed a burning interest in, and a vast knowledge of, psychoanalysis and anthropology as tools for understanding how interpersonal relationships are in turn affected by technological changes. Here, the activist Bard himself leads as a shining example with a Twitter account with 100,000s of followers around the world, and as a leader in the European Men's Movement (where today he also collaborates with young women to support them as they build their own much-needed counterpart). This development has meant that you are just as likely to find Bard today at a spiritual retreat center in the countryside as at a business conference in the big city. He thrives perfectly in both environments and so does his committed audience.
Alexander Bard has written six books together with Jan Söderqvist. The Netocrats (2000), The Global Empire (2003), The Body Machines (2009), Syntheism - Creating Good in the Internet Age (2014), Digital Libido - Sex, Power and Violence in the Network Society (2017) and Process and Event (2023). Bard has run both record and music publishing companies in the music industry with great international success in Europe and North America and was highly instrumental in the creation of "the Swedish music export miracle" from the 1990s onwards.
