Bio

Andy Chaleff (1970-Present) is an American author born in Burbank, California. In 1990, Chaleff left the U.S. to escape the pain of his mother's death, who was killed by a drunk driver when he was 18-years-old.

In 2018 Chaleff came out with his first book, The Last Letter, which won several awards and was noted by Kirkus Reviews: It's rare that a book succeeds at relating such an intimate, personal story while also clearly discussing psychological topics, such as projection, self-destruction, addiction, self-acceptance, and vulnerability.

In his book, he chronicles his journey of healing after his mother's death and invites readers to write a last letter to someone special in their lives. The book gets its name from a letter that Chaleff wrote his mother that she received hours before her death. The book and his subsequent 3-month tour of the U.S. was covered widely in the news and media.

In 2020, Chaleff released The Wounded Healer, which is the story of his 3-month journey through the U.S. with a specific focus on uncovering radical self-love. In this book he asks people to name the thing that is hardest to say and follow it with the stem ...and it's fu*king great! He pays special attention to archetypes that are easy to relate with, from the perfectionist to the victimized.

Chaleff is currently the Director of the Amsterdam's Welvaren Training Center and mentor and advisor to several non-profits, paying special attention to education and parenting. To learn more, visit www.andychaleff.com.
