Jeff Bell is an author, speaker, and award-winning journalist. His two books, Rewind, Replay, Repeat and When in Doubt, Make Belief, have established Bell as a leading voice for adversity-driven advocacy, mental health awareness, and “greater good” (purpose- and service-based) motivation.

Bell served for eight years as a national spokesperson and board member for the International OCD Foundation and lends his support to numerous mental health organizations. In 2011, he co­founded the nonprofit Adversity 2 Advocacy Alliance, aiming to foster the power of turning personal challenges into service to others with similar challenges.
