Hailed by a New York Times reporter as “someone who has quietly become one of the most influential people in America,” Andy Andrews is the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers including The Traveler’s Gift and The Noticer. He is also an in-demand speaker, coach, and consultant for the world’s largest organizations.
Both The Noticer and The Traveler’s Gift were featured selections of ABC’s Good Morning America and continue to appear on bestseller lists around the world. His books have been translated into over 40 languages.
Andy has spoken at the request of four different United States presidents, worked extensively with the Department of Defense, regularly addresses the world’s largest corporations. Zig Ziglar once said, “Andy Andrews is the best speaker I have ever seen.”
In addition to his writing and speaking, Andy has established a personally delivered, cost effective, year-long curriculum for organizations, teams, and corporations. Using Creating Measurable Results™ as a platform, he teaches how “to compete in a way your competition doesn’t know a game is going on.” Creating Measurable Results™ has been documented to have helped some clients to double their results within a single year’s time.
People often ask what it was like to receive 51 rejection letters when I was trying to get my first novel, The Traveler’s Gift, published. Well, actually writing the book was the hardest part, but the rejection stage wasn’t all that pleasant, either!
Walt Merrell opens with a story his grandfather told him on a sidewalk — less than 60 seconds long, words he didn’t understand at the time, that hit him like a ton of bricks at 18. From there, he and Andy Andrews make a compelling case that great material can’t be manufactured. You have to earn it by showing up for your own life. It’s also, somehow, one of the funniest conversations on the Writers Dock yet.

Through the Traveler’s Lens: Gallery 3
There’s a difference between looking and truly seeing—and this collection lives in that space. In Through the Traveler’s Lens: Gallery 3, Andy Andrews captures moments most of us would pass by without a second thought: a quiet fire, a line in the water, a flash of unexpected color in something as simple as an orange. Yet in each image, there’s something more—something that asks us to slow down and reconsider what we’re seeing.
Andy Andrews sits down with Walt Merrell — author, trial lawyer, and one of the most compelling storytellers you’ve probably never heard of — for a conversation that is equal parts hilarious and genuinely eye-opening. Underneath the laughs is something every writer needs to hear: the difference between someone who can write and someone who can story — and why that gap is the whole ballgame.
Andy Andrews is back with ten more head-scratchers in this ninth round of BS…or Be True?, Wisdom Harbour’s favorite game of fact, fiction, and friendly competition! This time around, you’ll hear about Q-Tips invented by a Chicago orderly, octopuses throwing actual punches at fish, a bestselling book that never existed, Harry Truman’s million-dollar dinner conversation, and the surprising kitchen ingredient that helped build the Great Wall of China. Some of these stories are stranger than fiction—and some of them are fiction. Grab a pen, gather the family or the classroom, and get ready to test your radar for reality. It’s time once again to play BS…or Be True?
Most people think of manners as a matter of preference — something families either care about or don’t. But Andy Andrews makes a compelling case that the way we raise our children to treat other people has consequences that reach far beyond the dinner table. What he’s discovered about the connection between awareness, respect, and opportunity may permanently change the way you think about something you assumed you already understood. And the title isn’t just a catchy phrase — it’s a principle with real-world proof behind it.
Howard Peel had a plan…get his wife Sonya to the Gulf Coast for a special trip. What he didn’t plan for was a mysterious thump under the hood, a breakdown on a two-lane road in the middle of nowhere, and a small Alabama town that apparently runs on its own schedule. In this chapter from Return to Sawyerton Springs, Andy Andrews introduces us to the Peels — a Chicago couple who thought they were just passing through — and a cast of locals who have no idea they’re about to change everything.
