Angus Kennedy is the anti-self-help self-help guru.
Tired of booking another me-too positivity guru? It’s time to shake things up and put reality before fake positivity. For decades, Angus relentlessly followed every self-help guru’s advice, every positivity trick, seminar, mantra and mindset tactic. The result? Total destruction, catastrophic failure, illness, loss, depression, and complete burnout. That’s what self-help did for him. Only then did he realise that to truly transform his life, he needed to reject everything he had learned and create something radical, real, and effective, a philosophy that actually worked.
In 2021, Angus hit rock bottom. He was homeless, broke, unable to feed his five kids, was sleeping on the floor with his family, lost his sister, went through a divorce, lost his career as a chocolate expert – and he couldn’t walk or use his arm to eat after multiple injuries and operations. Most people might have given up. But Angus used this moment to turn the impossible into the inevitable.
Only by finally rejecting outdated doctrines, embracing darkness, and harnessing negative energy did he tune into the rocket fuel he needed. And he rebuilt his life from scratch at the age of 60.
The transformation was so extraordinary, that Angus is now finishing his 9th book, “The Positivity Trap”, exposing why the self-help industry fails most people. His talk, a full-on and no-mercy delivery, guarantees to shake things up turning previous outdated doctrines on their heads. It is a fully charged, condensed, high-energy version of his book, giving audiences practical tools, mindset shifts, and life-changing strategies they cannot get anywhere else.
He created Freefallism, a radical philosophy for thriving when life is falling apart:
Angus often does not follow a script. He is witty, funny, and radically present, often tearing up his speech and responding in real-time to the energy in the room and loves to get audience conversation going. This improvisational style makes his talks mesmerising, memorable, and impossible to forget.
What audiences gain from Angus
When Angus takes to the stage, audiences walk away with radical clarity about who they truly are and what they are capable of right now. Through practical tools and deeply personal stories, he shows people how to face adversity, fear, and burnout head on, not with theory but with lived experience and authenticity. His sessions inject energy and confidence, helping individuals break free from toxic systems and regain control of their work and lives. Every talk feels alive, fresh, and entirely unique, creating a mesmerising experience that stays with audiences long after the event ends.

Why fake happiness is making us miserable
Escaping the endless loop of “not quite good enough”
The lies that failed us
The power of emotional honesty
The art of succeeding without a plan
From collapse to comeback through unlearning
