An author, Stanford instructor, and respected Silicon Valley influencer, Ellen is passionate about intentional living and how our brains can shape or interfere with our sense of purpose. Her book “The Happiness Hack” guides mindful ways to train the brain to increase focus, sense of purpose, and life satisfaction.
