About Mark Nolan

Author and speaker Mark Nolan has retired from the business world and now writes about personal development via his blog titled More Joy in Life

Mark is just a regular guy, a fun loving student in the school of life, where each day holds another lesson, and all of the people and events, both good and bad, are potential teachers and opportunities for self-growth. He believes that the "Three L’s" - love, laughter and learning - are pathways to a happier and more meaningful journey.

Before he retired from the busy-ness world to write and enjoy life, Mark worked hard to become a published author and lecturer on the topics of business success and goal achievement. He spoke at conferences and seminars along with people like Dan Kennedy and Jim Rohn, taught classes in the California State University System, had one of his books used as a textbook in college classes (sorry kids), and created a home study course that shared his common-sense methods with over 100,000 people.

He no longer writes or lectures about business at all. He understands that many people love the adrenalin rush of business competition, but Mark has had his fill of that and now prefers peace and quiet, vacation travel, time with family, walking the dog, writing, photography, etc. Each to his own.

His current "work" is to study joy and happiness and how to change stress into success, and to share his observations with others. It’s a tough job but somebody has to do it.

As a writer and photographer he spends time enjoying nature, visiting new places, reading and writing, and working on his own websites. This is, for him, a happy life with virtually none of the hassles of a business, no clients or employees, no deadlines or meetings, no suits or commutes, and no demanding people he has to answer to. Life is good.

He is the proud father of two great kids, enjoys nature photography and vacation travel, and currently lives on a farm on the west coast of the U.S. where he tries not to take himself too seriously and is known for saying "I'm just trying to be the person my dog thinks I am."
