Vex King grew up in the United Kingdom facing real hardship early on. His father died when he was still an infant, his family experienced periods of homelessness, and he came of age in neighborhoods marked by violence and racism. He eventually turned that difficult start into the foundation for a career built around personal transformation, growing into a social media content creator, a self described mind coach, and a Number 1 Sunday Times bestselling author. Alongside Good Vibes, Good Life, published in 2019, he has written several other books in the same space, including Healing Is the New High, Things No One Taught Us About Love, and Closer to Love. His work centers on making spiritual and self development ideas approachable, often drawing on stories from his own life alongside practical exercises aimed at helping readers build healthier mindsets and relationships.
