Before becoming a professor at The University of Texas, he was assistant professor for four years at Harvard University, and he was a professor at the University of Michigan for eleven years.
The primary topics of his research include mating strategies, conflict between the sexes, status, social reputation, prestige, the emotion of jealousy, homicide, anti-homicide defenses, and most recently stalking. All of these are approached from an evolutionary perspective. Buss is the author of more than 200 scientific articles and has won many awards. Some of these awards include American Psychological Association (APA) Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology in 1988 and APA G. Stanley Hall Lectureship in 1990.

Buss is involved with extensive cross-cultural research collaborations and lectures within the U.S.
ONE THING
that people really need to get
about my life's work
is that it's not about therapy
or business
or 'networking' organisations
– it's about freedom.
Richard Bandler
»Courage is an opportunity…
presented to us all…
to shape a vision…
into reality.
Will you stand in the shadows?
or step forward
and become
a leader?«
»You clearly have the choice.« It's in your moments of decision
that your destiny is shaped.
Anthony Robbins
