Best known as co-creator of the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul book series, which includes more than 200 titles with 115 million copies in print across 47 languages, Canfield has also authored influential works including “The Success Principles,” “The Aladdin Factor,” “Dare to Win,” “The Power of Focus,” and “The Key to Living the Law of Attraction.” He has appeared in numerous transformational movies including “The Secret,” “The Meta Secret,” “The Truth,” “The Opus,” “The Quest,” and “Beyond Belief,” while founding The Transformational Leadership Council, a group of 125 owners of transformational training, coaching, and media companies plus evolutionary thought leaders who meet biannually to network and expand their work. Recipient of three honorary doctorates and former faculty member at two universities, Canfield’s work demonstrates how personal development principles can be made accessible to mainstream audiences through storytelling, practical techniques, and systematic approaches to achieving success and fulfillment.
Why their voice matters: Canfield has made personal development accessible to millions through practical principles and inspirational storytelling, demonstrating that success and fulfillment are learnable skills rather than accidents of birth, while showing how individual transformation can serve the highest good of all when approached with love, integrity, and commitment to helping others achieve their potential.
