A Harvard MBA, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning blogger, and one of the most
popular TED speakers in the world, Neil Pasricha is “a pied piper of happiness” who dazzles
audiences with ideas that skyrocket happiness into the stratosphere. With infectious enthusiasm,
heartfelt authenticity, and a “what works” authority, Pasricha draws on the latest research in
happiness to increase individual performance and create a more positive and productive
workplace.

Pasricha spent a decade with Walmart, the world’s largest company, directly working for two
CEOs and as the organization’s director of leadership development. He now travels all over the
globe sharing messages on happiness to Fortune 500 companies, schools, and non-profits. His
Ted Talk “The 3 A’s of Awesome” has been ranked as one of the most inspiring of all times with
more than 3 million views. He has spoken to Royal Families in the Middle East, Ivy League
Deans, and to CEOs at organizations such as Google, Audi, American Express, and GE.

His first book, The Book of Awesome, was a runaway #1 international bestseller with millions of
copies sold. Since then, he has published seven bestsellers, including The Happiness Equation,
a step-by-step guide to improving your time, career, relationships, and, of course, your
happiness, as well as his most recent book, You Are Awesome, about changing the way we view
failure and help us build resilience. His intentionally acclaimed blog, 1000 Awesome Things, has
scored over 50 million hits and twice won the Webby Award for “Best Blog in the World.”

Pasricha partnered with Harvard University to design one of the first global leadership
development programs inside a Fortune 10 company. And, as a management consultant, he
advised Fortune 50 companies on top level leadership strategies. He earned his Master’s degree
from the Harvard Business School, focusing on Leadership and Organizational Behaviour.

Pasricha’s writing and work has been featured in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, CNN, BBC,
