Freedom Malhotra is an educator, activist and social entrepreneur whose personal mission is to promote the principles and practices of altruism, the unselfish concern for the welfare of others.

As an outspoken critic of our mainstream preoccupations with happiness, he frequently delivers keynotes, seminars and webinars to various organizations on “The UnPursuit of Happiness: How Our Desire to Feel Good Can Sabotage our Leadership Potential.”

As an advocate for youth empowerment, Freedom Malhotra founded The Young Leaders, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to facilitating altruistic-based leadership education programs for kids, ages 10-18. Identifying the growing need for today’s youth to learn many of the real-world skills that are not taught in school, he took the initiative to start the program which now enjoys a nationwide audience.
Freedom Malhotra has co-authored Born on the Mountaintop: Reclaim Your Life & Unleash Your Spirit and, while promoting his book, made numerous guest appearances on radio and television shows including CTV Breakfast Television, CH@Home and the Good Life Show. For three consecutive years, Freedom Malhotra facilitated weekend workshops in Toronto coaching people on how to both self-diagnose and break free from 13 Psychological Life Addictions.
