Evan Sutter

Evan Sutter is a social entrepreneur, the founder of Hapzly, a 3x Author, an international keynote speaker, a one on one well-being coach, the host of the podcast Sutterfaction, the creator of the online happiness course Happier, and a corporate consultant in happiness and wellness.

Sutter is fascinated by life and how we can all live a good, full, life. He plays at the intersection of philosophy, psychology, art, business, health and happiness and has dedicated the past 7 years of his life to exploring the topics of happiness, meaning, fulfilment and aliveness. While living in the forests of a Buddhist Monastery with his monk brother he wrote a book; Solitude: How Doing Nothing Can Change the World, and conceived a social enterprise to teach individuals the skills to live happy and full lives. He has evolved this important work to focus on business, culture, and sustainability too, to utilise the incredible reach of business and drive positive change for more living beings.

His latest work is Awake: A Journal, a Guide, a Retreat, a Friend, which is packed with thought-provoking content and actionable practices designed to deliver optimal happiness.

More About Evan's Social Impact Work:

Evan launched a social initiative in Bogota, Columbia, where children illustrated his stories to learn English and literacy skills in a fun and dynamic way. This engaged students in life-long learning and helped to break the cycle of poverty. Typically students in this area leave school at 14 to work low-paying jobs and just continue the cycle of poverty.

Evan worked with a social enterprise in a Favela in Brasil to help teach locals skills in entrepreneurship and create alternative pathways to the drug and crime trade there.

Sutter launched ‘Tarkine in Motion’ in partnership with The Bob Brown Foundation and Patagonia in San Francisco, to raise awareness, and funds, to support the beauty of the Tarkine (Tasmanian Rain-forest) and help protect it.

He launched the environmental ‘Ban The Bag’ campaign in NSW, Australia, to stop the use of single use plastic bags at mainstream grocery outlets.

Evan created and led soft-sand walking meditations on beaches up and down the East Coast of Australia, and the West Coast of California, to teach people new skills to take greater control of their health and happiness.

He launched thought-provoking talks and panel discussion nights where social entrepreneurs, film-makers, artists, activists and free-thinkers opened up dialogue on important and powerful topics.
