Ashkan Tashvir is a multi-disciplinary best-selling author and philosopher who has achieved significant attention for his ever-evolving body of work bridging the worlds of philosophy, business, technology and human potential. His frameworks, theories and books support individuals and organisations in comprehending and navigating complex concepts. Best known for developing The Being Framework, an ontological paradigm for leadership, performance and effectiveness adopted by thousands of leaders in over 53 countries to date, Ashkan continues to expand his work, which combines deep philosophical insights with practical guidance on the most effective ways to achieve sustainable personal growth and organisational excellence.Having experienced intense challenges many can't fathom, Ashkan is committed to empowering others and serving humanity to help make the world a better place. Instead of being permanently scarred by life's brutality, he gained a unique perspective and learned the importance of being responsible for one’s own choices and actions.Through his scholarly pursuits, Ashkan has developed a deep respect for and knowledge of the works of philosophers and thinkers from Eastern, Western, Persian and faith-based traditions throughout the ages. His radical analyses of contemporary and existing approaches to understanding the world, existence, how we make sense of our lives and leadership have established him as a thought-provoking and original thinker. He links philosophical principles with practical applications and emphasises uniting different viewpoints and recognising their commonalities, a unique approach that resonates with a diverse audience and has established him as a significant voice in contemporary intellectual and philosophical discourse. In recognition of his frameworks, theories, vision and overall contribution to humanity, Ashkan was awarded an honorary doctorate in Business Administration from the College de Paris in 2024. In addition to his intellectual and philosophical pursuits, Ashkan applies his body of work across a range of real-world and current contexts with a key focus on the economy. Here, he not only builds frameworks and models but also leverages entrepreneurship and investment to address critical areas that need attention in the world. In this capacity, his work has led to the creation of Engenesis, a global platform for human transformation, and Engenesis Ventures, a venture-building organisation that leads an international portfolio of startup companies. Beyond his business, writing pursuits and studies, Ashkan enjoys spending time with his family and their much-loved dogs. He is also an avid collector, a proficient cook and musician and relishes quality time in nature.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
