Alice Inoue (born July 17, 1964)[4] is an American author, corporate trainer, business owner, and professional astrologer based in Hawaiʻi.[5] She is the founder of Happiness U, a Honolulu-based personal development and corporate training company.[6] Inoue is also the host of the YouTube series Following Journeys, which explores the personal and professional paths of entrepreneurs and business leaders through astrology.[7][8]

Inoue is the creator of the Master Your Superpowers personality framework, introduced in her 2019 book of the same name and later expanded in subsequent publications.

Early life and education

Inoue was born in San Francisco, California,[5] to a Chinese mother and German-Irish father.[1] From the age of eight, she was raised bilingually in Taiwan, speaking both English and Mandarin. Graduating from Morrison Academy in 1981, Inoue returned to the United States to continue her education.[2] She attended the University of California at Santa Cruz where she studied for four years, earning a degree in Biology as a pre-med student.[5] Instead of pursuing medical school, Inoue moved to Japan to teach English while at the same time learned to speak Japanese.[5]

Career

Inoue began a career change in the late 1990s. After being told by an astrologer that she would be changing career paths, two years later, her television contracts reached their end and she was unemployed.[7] Inoue was quoted as saying "that moment I knew that this is what I've come here to do."[4] She began focusing on astrology and taking courses on feng shui.[4] [3]

Media career

Inoue began her media career in television, including hosting Do Sports on Fuji News, a program highlighting activities for Japanese tourists visiting Hawaiʻi.[9] At the height of her television career, she hosted three television shows and had four major sponsors.[10]

In 2008 she joined forces with Oceanic Time Warner Cable to produce a series of feng shui instructional DVDs based on her signature presentations. Inoue performs work as a life guide under her consultancy Alice Inoue Life Guidance.[3]

She has appeared in regional publications including MidWeek,[4] Hawaii Business Magazine, Pacific Business News,[11] Honolulu Star-Bulletin,[12] and other Hawaiʻi-based outlets.[13]

Inoue later became a frequent guest commentator on Hawaiʻi television news programs discussing astrology and annual forecasts. She has appeared on KHON2[14] and Hawaii News Now, where she has been identified as an author, life coach, and professional astrologer of over 25 years.[15]


Happiness U and corporate training

In 2013, Inoue expanded her consultancy to include Happiness U, originally described as a school for adults in Honolulu providing guidance on life and personal development.[16][3]

It was reported at the time that she had provided guidance to approximately 3,000 individuals, including 500 regular clients. The company later shifted its focus toward corporate training, wellbeing programs, and team development initiatives. Inoue developed the Master Your Superpowers personality assessment system, which she applies in corporate leadership and resilience training programs.[18]

In 2019, she released Master Your Superpowers, which introduced a personality framework based on the Chinese Five Elements, later expanded through additional books and training materials used in leadership development and corporate wellbeing programs.[20] Her more recent publications include The Best of Mindful Moments – A Collection of Life Wisdom,[21] Daily Mindful Moments – A Year of Life Wisdom,[22] Master Your Superpowers – The Elemental System for Life and Work (2nd edition),[20] and Open Now – What You See Is What You Need.[23]
