Sven Erlandson, Host of the #1 Mental Health - Transformation podcast, The Badass Counseling Show. Author of two Top 10 Bestsellers on Amazon: the 64-wk, TOP 10 Bestseller, "There's a Hole in My Love Cup!" & the new, "CHEATING SUCKS!" Has over 500 million views and 3 million followers on social media as BadassCounseling. Has a successful 30yr counseling practice, now in Manhattan/NYC area. Very first author to publish on the 'Spiritual But Not Religious' phenomenon, 30 years ago; credited by some sources with naming the movement. Worked with and lived among the homeless of Oakland, CA, sleeping on concrete every night for 2 1/2 years.

He is known for no-BS, deep insights on cheating, parenting, suicide, soulful relationships, and career fulfillment. Specializing in personal transformation, he works almost exclusively with people tired of old counseling ways and no results. His 6-hour initial sessions, mandatory pre-counseling autobiography, short-term work, as well as aggressive, raw, and wisdom-driven style are single-handedly redefining the entire counseling category.

His books span from infidelity to the intersection of spirituality and politics, and beyond. He has lectured at the graduate and undergraduate levels. He’s a former: pastor/emergency room chaplain at a Level One Trauma Center, NCAA Strength Head Coach, and military. He got himself out of a 12-year suicidal depression when no therapy could help him. What he learned and created became the backbone of his life’s work helping others transform their lives.
