Inventor Tali Lehavi
Brief Bio:
After double majoring in Psychology and Spanish literature from UC Berkeley, Tali Lehavi invented Planet Heart, a world completely made of hearts. She spent many years studying the geometry and symbolism of the heart. Along with that, she invented the famous heart hand gesture, a language made of hearts, and infinite ways in which hearts can combine. She also published over 30 books dedicated to this pursuit.
As Lehavi drew a planet made of hearts, she discovered that she experienced numerous psychological benefits from drawing and coloring her designs. In particular, she noticed that the safe space of coloring designs helped her become a better decision maker. She analyzed the process of reaching such mental benefits and called it “Hemispheric Harmony,” which she teaches in some of her books and workshops. Lehavi created the niche of adult coloring books in 2003, which are now popular around the world.
Lehavi is the proud mother of three daughters who are confident, independent, entrepreneurial and full of nurturing hearts. In addition, she serves on the Board of Acupuncture of Arizona, works as a nutrition educator, and is a registered corporate yoga instructor!
“The Bigger You Dream, the Bigger You Allow Others to Dream!TM” This is the motto I invented in college. It freed me to envision a world--and then a galaxy-- in which ...everything is ideal. Why settle for less? The heart is the most elemental design, the basis of all that is positive and good. Therefore, I chose to express myself solely through hearts. I want all my products to be 100% positive, to teach children what works, from nutrition, to fitness, to math, to character education.”
The Planet Heart brand aims to teach children to want to be positive. It’s going to be cool to make good choices for oneself. Planet Heart can remind us of how we should be...even when we haven’t slept enough. That’s really the goal--to be our best when we are challenged in reality. “Let’s make Planet Earth a Planet Heart!”
