She founded the global I Quit Sugar movement, became the editor of Cosmopolitan Australia at 29, hosted the most-watched TV series show in the nation’s history -the first season of Masterchef Australia – and wrote the international bestseller First, We Make the Beast Beautiful, which Mark Manson described as “the best book on living with anxiety that I’ve ever read”.

Her most recent book, This One Wild and Precious Life, won the US Gold Nautilus Prize, and she has ranked in the top 200 most influential authors in the world (two years in a row).

Sarah’s mission is to see humanity – individuals, communities and corporates – engaged in the epic issues facing the world today. She leads the discussion via her keynote addresses and in conversations with the world’s leading philosophers, scientists and creatives on her podcast, Wild with Sarah Wilson and over at her Substack with her community of 50,000 subscribers. 

Sarah is committed to driving a global conversation on inequality, truth, purpose, existential risk and climate change. Sarah lives between Paris and Sydney, is a foster parent, gamifies her carbon footprint and rides a bike everywhere.
