Biography
Stephen Chbosky is an American film director, screenwriter, and author born January 25, 1970. He wrote the bestselling coming-of-age novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower in 1999, a book that became shorthand for teenage alienation and emotional honesty across a generation. In 2012, he wrote and directed the film adaptation, cementing his role as keeper of that story's heart. His directorial portfolio expanded with Wonder (2017), a drama about acceptance and disability, and the 2021 film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen, a contemporary musical about grief and connection. Beyond screenwriting and directing, Chbosky ventured into psychological horror with his novel Imaginary Friend, published in October 2019. As a screenwriter, he bridges literature and film, often exploring emotional vulnerability and the messy reality of growing up or processing trauma. Born under Aquarius, Chbosky channels the sign's introspective, idealistic bent—drawn repeatedly to stories about outsiders finding meaning. Life Path 7 resonates with his output: the thoughtful analyst, the seeker of deeper truth beneath social surfaces. His work across multiple mediums reflects a sustained interest in character psychology and the redemptive power of human connection.
