ROBERT MACK
About Robert Mack
Most people believe success leads to happiness. The research says it works the other way around. Robert Mack is an Ivy League–educated positive psychology expert, celebrity happiness coach, bestselling author and television host and producer, and one of the leading voices on the link between authentic happiness and effortless success.
Robert earned his Master of Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) at the University of Pennsylvania, studying under Martin Seligman, the founder of positive psychology. That science sits underneath everything he teaches, and it is why his message lands with skeptical, high-performing rooms: he is not selling feel-good slogans, he is showing people what the evidence says about how they actually perform best.
His path to the stage runs through the business world. Robert earned an MBA and worked as a Big Five management consultant before an unexpected detour into modeling and acting for clients including Nike, Reebok, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. (And yes, he was "Paco" on the CW's South Beach.) His passion for happiness is personal, too. He found it the hard way, climbing out of a long stretch of depression, and he now teaches only what he has lived.
On screen, Robert served two seasons as Co-Host and Celebrity Love Coach on E!'s Famously Single, worked as Consulting Producer and On-Camera Expert for OWN's Mind Your Business, and was Executive Producer and Host of Good Morning LaLa Land on Apple TV and Hulu. He has appeared regularly on Good Morning America, Today, CBS Mornings and Access Hollywood, and in GQ, Self, Health, Cosmopolitan, Well+Good and Glamour. His work has been endorsed by Oprah, Vanessa Williams and Lisa Nichols.
Robert coaches pro athletes, entertainers, executives and everyday people, and he consults for organizations of every size, including Google, YouTube, Facebook, Microsoft, Salesforce, Twilio, Deloitte and Capital One. Most recently, he led a 90-minute leadership session on reinvention and sustainable performance for Google's CAM Summit.
Warm, witty and wickedly smart, Robert distills complex science into practical, bite-size tools anyone can use immediately. He blends research, coaching, corporate experience, storytelling and decades in front of the camera to help audiences reach an energizing balance of authentic personal happiness and effortless professional success, grounded in time-tested science and timeless wisdom. Based in Miami Beach, he is available for national and international engagements.
