John Purkiss

John was a partner with Heidrick & Struggles, one of the world’s largest executive search firms. He has recruited chief executives, finance directors and non-executive directors for companies ranging from start-ups to the FTSE 100. John studied economics at Cambridge University and has an MBA from INSEAD.

John learned mindfulness by accident over 20 years ago, and he says his life changed rapidly for the better and his intuition got considerably stronger. Since then, he has explored a wide range of spiritual practices, on four continents, including mindfulness and Transcendental Meditation. John’s latest book, The Power of Letting Go, aims to teach people to let go of material things and how to be more present to bring you better health, happier relationships, more creativity and greater prosperity – without the stress of trying to control everything. John shows people how to go much further in fulfilling their potential.
