After a milestone year of media, podcast, and corporate engagements, Patkin opens his 2026 and 2027 calendar to conferences, summits, and speaking events.

I was put on this earth to go through so much unhappiness and anxiety so that I could one day help others become much happier themselves. Every stage I get to stand on is part of that mission.”
— Todd Patkin, Author of Finding Happiness
FOXBOROUGH, MA, UNITED STATES, June 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Author, philanthropist, and happiness thought leader Todd Patkin today announced that he is now accepting select speaking engagements for 2026 and 2027. Following years of national media appearances—and after being named Reader's Digest's "Happiness Hero" for 2012—Patkin continues to be one of the most candid and credible voices on the human cost of high-pressure achievement.

Patkin's sixty-minute talks combine humor, vulnerability, and practical takeaways drawn from his own journey: building his family's business into a national success, suffering a debilitating breakdown at age thirty-six, and rebuilding a life centered on purpose, family, and authentic happiness. Audiences consistently describe his talks as life-changing, deeply human, and unusually actionable.

Signature Topics
From Breakdown to Breakthrough: What I Learned About Happiness the Hard Way — Patkin's flagship talk on the limits of achievement, the warning signs of burnout, and the steps that lead from emotional collapse to genuine well-being.

The Hidden Cost of "Having It All" — A frank look at why high achievers are especially vulnerable to anxiety and depression, and what leaders can do about it inside their organizations and inside their own lives.

Twelve Weeks to a Happier Life — A practical, content-rich walkthrough of the twelve habits that form the backbone of Patkin's bestselling work, customized to the audience's industry and goals.

Ideal Audiences
Patkin's past audiences include corporate leadership teams, healthcare and wellness organizations, universities, conference programs, faith communities, and entrepreneur networks. He is uniquely positioned to speak to executives, founders, and high-performing professionals who have everything on paper—and yet still find themselves quietly struggling.
