Ben Meer Biography

Ben Meer is the #1 New York Times and #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of "How to Be Good at Life: Simple Systems to Achieve More and Stress Less." Known as “The Systems Guy” by Forbes, Meer is a leading voice on productivity, habits, and systems thinking. His ideas have attracted a social media following of over two million, while his weekly newsletter, System Sunday, reaches more than 250,000 subscribers. He has appeared on NBC’s "TODAY" and his work has been featured in Forbes, Inc., Fast Company, and Fortune.

But Meer’s journey began far from conventional success. In 2017, he was living in a 350-square-foot apartment, carrying $32,000 in credit card debt, and struggling to keep his startup afloat. Despite working harder than ever, he wasn’t making the progress he wanted.

A turning point came during his MBA at Cornell University, where he discovered systems thinking: the idea that better results often come from improving the underlying systems rather than simply trying harder. He later applied these principles while advising Fortune 500 companies at Ernst & Young and began exploring how they could transform everyday life.

Today, Meer focuses on closing the implementation gap: the disconnect between knowing what to do and actually following through. Through practical frameworks, evidence-based approaches, and engaging personal stories, he helps individuals and organizations turn good intentions into consistent action. His keynotes show audiences how to build better systems at home, at work, and across their teams. The result is a practical approach to increasing capacity, improving performance, and achieving more without burning out.

Meer lives in Miami Beach with his fiancée, Jade Bonacolta.
