SUNEEL GUPTA:

AUTHOR

Harnessing a mix of neuroscience, research and personal stories, Suneel Gupta helps readers build high-quality habits. Suneel teaches us how to take action to move ideas forward, improve our emotional well-being and resilience, and transform the world of work.

Every morning I play a little game with my two daughters. I ask them: “what is the meaning of life?” and they say, “to find your gift”.
Then I ask, “what is the purpose of life?” and they say, “to give it away.”

My two books, Backable and Everyday Dharma — are all about how we find our gifts, and how we share those gifts with the people around us.

EVERYDAY DHARMA (2023)

Suneel Gupta’s upcoming book “Everyday Dharma” (HarperCollins, Sep ’23) offers readers timeless techniques for finding happiness while creating great work.

BACKABLE

The bestselling debut book from Suneel Gupta, “Backable” explains that the key to success is not talent, connections, or ideas, but the ability to persuade people to take a chance on your potential. The good news? This “it quality” can be learned.
