Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur

Chris Bailey is a Canadian author and speaker whose work centers on productivity, attention, calm, and intentional living. He grew up in Canada and studied business at Carleton University in Ottawa, graduating with specializations in management and marketing. Early in his career, after receiving full-time job offers, he made the decision that defined his public path: rather than move directly into conventional employment, he turned those offers down and devoted a full year to studying productivity. That experiment became A Year of Productivity, a daily writing project built from reading widely, interviewing experts, and testing ideas on himself.
