Rodney King

Dr Rodney King is a philosopher, writer, coach, and lifelong martial artist whose work explores what it means to live well in a world increasingly shaped by speed, performance, and technology.

He holds a PhD in mindful leadership, an MSc in Health Psychology (with a focus on nature connectedness), and an MA in leading innovation and change. He is currently pursuing his 2nd PhD in Applied Philosophy at Rhodes University.

Before turning more fully towards philosophy and writing, Rodney spent more than three decades teaching martial arts around the world, working with everyone from everyday practitioners to tier 1 special forces operators and law-enforcement personnel.

His books draw together philosophy, psychology, embodiment, nature, and lived experience. Rather than offering easy answers or another system for self-improvement, his writing invites readers to slow down, question the stories they have inherited, and rediscover a more grounded and human way of being.

Rodney lives on the Isle of Man, where he walks often, writes about the strange business of being alive, and works with people through philosophy-inspired coaching.
