ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Christine Hassler left her job as a successful Hollywood agent to pursue a life she could be passionate about. In 2005, she wrote a guidebook for quarter-life women, 20 Something, 20 Everything. Her second book, 20 Something Manifesto, written for men and women, stemmed from her experience as an expert on the quarter-life crisis.
As a life coach, Christine supports individuals of all ages in discovering the answers to the questions “Who am I?” “What do I want?” and “How do I get it?” She is also a speaker and leads seminars and workshops around the world at colleges, personal growth events, conferences, and corporations. Christine has appeared as an expert on the Today show, CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, E!, Style, and PBS, as well as various local television and radio shows. She is also a frequent contributor to the Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, and the Daily Love. She frequently hosts transformational retreats in beautiful and magical destinations such as Costa Rica, Bali, Laguna Beach, Australia, and Tulum, Mexico.
Christine is a member of Northwestern University’s Council of 100 and the Young Entrepreneur Council and is on the faculty of the University of Santa Monica, where she teaches spiritual psychology.
Christine graduated cum laude from Northwestern University and received her master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology with an emphasis on Consciousness, Health and Healing from the University of Santa Monica. She is active in volunteerism and loves living a healthy lifestyle — which means lots of green juice, yoga, hiking, and laughing! She currently resides in Los Angeles and loves spending time with her family and friends in Austin, Texas. Her website is www.christinehassler.com.
