His three books, Ten to Zen, Ten Times Happier and How to be your own Therapist have been translated into over 30 languages worldwide. Owen grew up in Northern Ireland during a period of sectarian violence known as ’the troubles,’ which he describes as a great training ground for understanding the anxious mind.
