John R. Miles is a #1 bestselling author and a leading voice on the science of mattering. A graduate of the United States Naval Academy and a former Fortune 50 executive, John’s work bridges the gap between high-level leadership and deep emotional resilience. His writing has earned over 20 International Awards, including the Gold Stevie® for Best Business Book, Reader's Favorite Gold, and the Mom’s Choice Awards® Gold for excellence in children's literature. John’s books include: You Matter, Luma (2026): In his debut picture book, a small bunny named Luma feels like "a leaf caught in the wind" as she searches for a special gift to be noticed. Grounded in developmental psychology and social-emotional learning, the story illustrates Luma’s shift from seeking extrinsic validation to realizing her worth is an indestructible constant she simply had to stop overlooking. The Mattering Effect (Coming October 2026): Using behavioral systems theory, John examines how modern society has value-engineered human worth out in favor of efficiency—a state he defines as "systemic unmattering." He introduces a new behavioral architecture to help individuals repair their internal sense of worth and restore significance in their families, relationships, and workplaces.
