Joseph Nguyen is a New York Times and international bestselling author who rose to prominence through his book Don't Believe Everything You Think, which has been translated into over 40 languages. Identifying as a spiritual thought leader and creator with no formal writing background, Nguyen focuses on helping readers achieve "self-realization" by distinguishing between the natural flow of thought and the destructive process of "thinking," which he posits as the root of all human suffering. Beyond his writing, he serves as a NAMI ambassador and frequently shares pragmatic wisdom on mindfulness and mental liberation across social platforms like TikTok. He currently resides with three cats to which he is famously allergic, spending his time teaching others how to live an abundant life free from psychological conditioning.
