My library is a mix of feel-good fiction, healing memoirs, and self-help nonfiction.

Susanna Newsonen (previously Halonen) is a writer, horse girl, and nature lover based in a tiny village in rural Southern France. She is on a mission to spread hope and love, around the world, one reader at a time.

Her books include Horse Girl, Notes on Self-Love, Happiness is Here, and Screw Finding Your Passion. Before becoming a full-time writer, she was a sought-after life coach and keynote speaker when wearing her now-retired Happyologist hat. Her client list ranged across industries, including Brainwash Festival, American Express, BMW, Kellogg’s, and The School of Life. She has also been a TEDx speaker, an online columnist for Psychology Today, and a regular commentator in the media from the BBC to The Huffington Post and more. Her quotes and writing have been featured in a wide range of publications, including Psychologies magazine, Marie Claire, Women’s Health, The Guardian, and Horse & Hound.

In her free time, she loves spending time with her horse, Mickey. She also adores dogs, especially her loyal Labrador Bond. She believes we can learn a lot from our four-legged furry friends.
