Paul Howarth is a qualified psychotherapist who left clinical practice to bring transformation work into the real world — working directly with founders, leaders and individuals navigating the gap between outward success and inner fulfilment. An entrepreneur and investor who has overseen business sales in excess of £50 million and a former professional footballer, Paul entered rehab for alcohol addiction in 2016 and has been sober for ten years. He lives with his family at Evermoor Farm in Lancashire.

"From Jesus to social media, we all find ourselves in other people's stories. P Howarth not only shares his rise and fall, but gives you the tools to not just open new doors and close others but carve out new ones." - Liberty Mills - Fertility Coach "Paul's book is raw, honest, and deeply inspiring. His journey from despair and struggle to purpose and growth shows that no matter how dark life may feel, change is always possible. What makes this book powerful is not only Paul's story, but the practical tools and frameworks he shares to help others break free from destructive patterns and step into a more authentic life. It's a guide full of hope, courage, and wisdom." - Dee Ludlow - M&A Expert "Paul has deep industry knowledge, offers great strategic insight, and his ability to navigate complex transactions with precision and integrity has been invaluable. Whether structuring deals, providing expert guidance, or ensuring seamless execution, Paul has consistently delivered outstanding results." - Riyad Adamou Chief Commercial Officer "The Growth Equation is one of those rare books that hits you on both a personal and professional level. Paul's honesty in sharing his journey, from the depths of addiction and despair to his recovery and creating a life of purpose and success, is nothing short of inspiring. What makes this book stand out is how he weaves lived experience with practical tools and deep psychological insight. As someone who works in mental health and wellbeing space and runs a lived experience business, I was struck by how accessible Paul makes complex ideas around trauma, growth, and resilience. But beyond the theory, it's the raw truth of his story that makes you stop, reflect, and believe change is possible. This isn't just a book about lived experience and recovery, it's a book about being human, growth, and hope. If you're looking for something real, practical, and moving, The Growth Equation will stay with you long after you've put it down." - Mark Murray, Director & Co-Founder of Whysup
