Andrew Matthews (born November 4, 1957) is an Australian speaker and author known for his numerous self help books.[1][2]

Matthews was born in Victor Harbor, South Australia. He became a full-time writer in 1988, and since then he has written and illustrated 11 books.[3] His book Being Happy! was written and published in 1988. It has sold 7 million copies and been published in 42 languages.[4][5][6]

A translation of Andrew Matthews's 1990 book Making Friends by pro-democracy leader Kyaw Min Yum (also known as Ko Jimmy) became a hit in Myanmar — "due more to the subtext of individual freedoms than the actual advice of how to garner new pals."[7]
