Biography of Andrea Raiser
Andrea Raiser is an American coach, author, and speaker who is dedicated to helping individuals achieve earthly happiness. She has been described as someone who "brightens life", a "cheerleader of happiness", and a source of "sunshine inspiration". With a background in positive psychology and personal growth training, Raiser emphasizes that each person is responsible for their own happiness. On her website, she states, "It would be my pleasure to help you get on the right path. I will share simple and useful tips and techniques that will lead to rapid growth of your happiness and greater personal fulfillment."
Professional Background
Raiser holds a bachelor's degree in mass communications and public relations from Boston University. She is a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors. Her latest book, "Letters From Home: A Wake-Up Call for Success & Wealth," published by Wiley in 2010, has been hailed as "must-read for all parents" and described as a "plan for improving health, happiness, productivity, and love for children". Raiser also contributes to the online publication "The Huffington Post" and has been featured in various print and electronic media outlets including "Woman's Day", "Chicago Tribune", and "The Stir". She has appeared on cable channels such as Fox Business and News12 CT, as well as numerous radio shows nationwide.
Personal Life
Raiser got married in 1993 to the same person she introduced to her family just weeks earlier. She proudly identifies as a mother of four sons, including a pair of identical twins. Her children are either attending middle school or have already enrolled in college. In 2007, Raiser underwent a preventive mastectomy after losing her mother to breast cancer and discovering that she carries the BRCA-1 gene mutation. She is always open to discussing preventive measures with other women who are considering them.
Interests and Hobbies
Raiser has a deep love for Broadway theater, particularly musicals. Her recent favorites include "Hamilton", "The King & I", "The Audience", "Something Rotten", and "Honeymoon in Vegas". She also confesses a longtime guilty pleasure for the music of Barry Manilow, saying, "He writes songs that you love to hate, that you hate because you know, and that make you want to throw up in a paper bag. He's the king of sentimentality and heavy orchestration with key changes. He takes me back to a happy, simpler time in my life when I was a twelve-year-old girl. He was my first concert, and for now, my last."
In her spare time, Raiser engages in her "never-ending culinary battle" to create the "most delicious and affordable chocolate cookies in the world". She considers Westport, Connecticut, her home, as well as the beautiful beaches of Narragansett, Rhode Island, where she grew up.
One of Raiser's favorite quotes is by poet Maya Angelou: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
