Hello

I have written four books, and sold foreign rights in multiple languages:

​

WORD WISE (Hachette, 2020, 2025).

THE HAPPINESS ANIMAL (2014, 2025, also French: La Sagesse du Koala (Éditions de la Martinière); Italian, Russian, Spanish). 

​

I’ve also written for publications including Fast Company, delivered seminars on word power, appeared in two interviews with the BBC in the UK, and spoken at Happiness & Its Causes in Sydney, the world’s largest happiness conference, on a programme headlined by the Dalai Lama.

​

I’m an Australian citizen, Cornishman, and New Yorker. I have also lived and worked in India, France and Germany. The last twenty years have been Sydney, New York and Cornwall, where I grew up.
