Hi, I’m Neil.

I believe we need to live our tiny, precious lives with intention.

I think and write about failure, resilience, happiness, trust, and gratitude.

I’m the New York Times bestselling author of 10 books and journals which have sold over 2,000,000 copies and spent over 200 weeks on bestseller lists including The Happiness Equation, Two-Minute Mornings, and You Are Awesome.

I host the award-winning, ad-free, sponsor-free podcast 3 Books where I’m on a 22-year quest to uncover the 1000 most formative books in the world. Guests include Brené Brown, Quentin Tarantino, and David Sedaris.

I give over 50 keynote speeches a year at places like Harvard, SXSW, and Microsoft.

I share my articles, book recommendations, and awesome things in free newsletters.

I live in Toronto with my family.
