Leon Ho

Founder & CEO of LifeHack · Creator of the Full Life Framework

Leon Ho is the founder and CEO of LifeHack and the creator of the Full Life Framework, the methodology behind LifeHack's approach to designing a full life across all its aspects rather than chasing single-domain fixes. He founded LifeHack in 2005 and has spent two decades testing and teaching what actually makes personal change stick, growing it into one of the world's most-read personal development publications, with work featured by The Guardian, The Washington Post, and Harvard's College in Asia Program.

His approach is grounded in first-hand experience. Leon began his career as a software engineer at Red Hat, was quickly promoted to lead a team, and ran into the limits of hard work alone. Long before "leverage" was a business buzzword, he was testing productivity and management methods through trial and error and keeping only what held up, a discipline that let him manage over 150 engineering projects by his mid-20s. He turned that hard-won system into LifeHack and has personally coached more than 70 executives through breakthroughs at work and at home. He has spoken at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, and Business Week named him one of its Top 24 Young Asian Entrepreneurs.

Today Leon focuses on the question productivity tips never answered: how to rebuild and sustain a full life across work, health, relationships, and personal growth, on your own timeline and for the long game rather than the next deadline. He writes from the operator's seat and applies the same principles in raising his two sons.
