Jonny Thomson

Jonny Thomson taught philosophy in Oxford for more than a decade before turning to writing full-time. He’s a staff writer at Big Think, where he writes about philosophy, theology, psychology and anywhere he dares step out of his lane. His first book, Mini Philosophy, is an award-winning, international bestseller, and has been translated into twenty languages. Jonny also runs the ‘Mini Philosophy’ Instagram and Facebook accounts (@philosophyminis).

His second book, Mini Big Ideas, brings his same easy and light style to the history of human thought. Johnny’s next book The Art of Enough will be published in 2027 by Bodley Head in the UK and Henry Holt in the US.

Jonny lives in Oxfordshire with his wife, who is very helpful, and his two young boys, who are not.
