The Biography

After graduating from Harvard Business School, Neil Pasricha spent a decade as Director of Leadership at Walmart, the world's largest company. While there he wrote the 50-million-hit, award-winning blog 1000 Awesome Things and the New York Times bestsellers The Book of Awesome and The Happiness Equation which have been on international bestseller lists for over 200 weeks and sold over a million copies. Neil's research and books on happiness, mindset, and human potential have received attention from Harvard Business Review, The New Yorker, The Sunday Times, CNN, and BBC. Onstage his style is an endangered species: an incredibly rare blend of raw, hilarious, and heartwarming. His high-energy, takeaway-laden, application-not-motivation speeches are often voted tops at any conference or event.

Signature Topics

Author of The Book of Awesome and The Happiness Equation, Neil built his platform (starting with the blog 1000 Awesome Things, written during a personally difficult period) around small, deliberate practices for sustained wellbeing and performance — practical happiness research, not platitudes.

A former Walmart executive, Neil pairs his happiness research with real corporate experience, giving leaders concrete, evidence-based practices for maintaining team morale and resilience through organizational change.
