Matthew Hess

Matthew Hess is a thought leader in work-life balance and personal well-being, drawing from nearly 15 years of experience in a demanding sales career with a prominent Fortune 500 company. After recognizing the detrimental effects of over-engagement at work on his personal life—particularly after the birth of his first child—Hess explored the practice of quiet quitting. His insights and strategies, now encapsulated in his award-winning book "Quiet Quit & Fully Live", provide a comprehensive guide to achieving a fulfilling and sustainable professional journey. Hess's work has earned critical acclaim, including the Readers' Favorite 2024 Gold Medal for General Nonfiction, for its practical advice on setting boundaries, enhancing productivity, and fostering personal growth. He has also taken his philosophy to the topic of love with his new book "Quiet Love (& Growing It)". Through his writing, Hess aims to inspire others to find balance, rediscover their passions, and take full ownership of their lives.
