Finding Happiness by Todd Patkin, expanded edition co-authored with Dr. Howard J. Rankin
Author and happiness thought leader Todd Patkin
As an author, speaker, and philanthropist, Patkin is expanding his mission to reach professionals whose outward success often hides quiet emotional collapse.
FOXBOROUGH, MA, UNITED STATES, July 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Happiness thought leader, author, and philanthropist Todd Patkin today announced an expanded national initiative aimed at one of the most under-discussed mental health emergencies of our time: the silent burnout, anxiety, and depression epidemic among high-achieving professionals. The initiative brings together Patkin’s books, his twelve-week MasterClass, his keynote speaking, and his corporate workshops under a single, unified mission: to help more people stop equating success with happiness, and start building lives that genuinely feel good from the inside out.
Patkin’s story has resonated with readers and audiences for more than a decade precisely because it does not fit the usual self-help mold. He was not someone who hit rock bottom in obvious ways. He had the business, the family, the community standing—and he still ended up unable to function. His honesty about that experience, and his clear-eyed view of what it took to recover, has made him one of the most credible voices on what he calls “the hidden cost of having it all.”
Why High Achievers Are Especially Vulnerable
Throughout his work, Patkin emphasizes a truth that many leaders are still reluctant to face: the very traits that make someone successful—perfectionism, drive, the relentless pursuit of approval—are often the same traits that quietly set them up for emotional collapse. He pairs his own lived experience with the clinical insight of his longtime co-author, Dr. Howard J. Rankin, Ph.D., to give audiences both the why and the how of recovery.
What’s Next
In the coming months, Patkin will continue expanding the reach of his work through new podcast appearances, partnerships with mental health and wellness organizations, additional corporate workshops, and ongoing development of the Finding Happiness MasterClass. He has also committed a portion of all proceeds from his books, course, and speaking engagements to philanthropic work focused on mental health, education, and supporting families in need.
Free Coaching Sessions
Todd is also offering 10 free coaching sessions for anyone who is addicted to success or work and would like help breaking free so he or she can live a more balanced and happy life. If interested, email Todd at tpatkin@tgpco.org.
