I am an author of 12 books, including the 'The Joy of Actually Giving a F*ck' (Hay House, 2024), and founder of The 21-Day Kindfulness Experiment.

I'm considered one of the world's leading experts on the science of kindness and how it impacts mental health, physical health, our lives, and the workplace.

I began my career working in R&D within the pharmaceutical industry, where I helped develop drugs for cardiovascular disease and cancer. After a period leading multiple change projects, I left the industry to focus on my love of writing and teaching.

I'm now a professional speaker, writer, columnist, and regular podcast guest. I've been a featured guest on Channel 4's, 'Sunday Brunch Live' in the UK and CBS Sunday Morning in the USA, as well as on numerous BBC radio shows.

I'm a regular speaker in both the public and corporate sectors. I've delivered talks for Google, 3M, Bank of England, HSBC, NHS, AstraZeneca, Network Rail, NEST, Calor, Electrolux, Diageo, Costa, KIND Snacks, NRC Health, and many others.

And I'm the honorary scientific advisor for the charity, 52 Lives, which helps people in need through acts of kindness, and an advisor to the science board at IONS.

I'm an advocate for kindness and work passionately to inspire a kinder world.
