Mark Williamson - Choosing Happiness Before Money

Today&aposs guest is my longtime friend and ally in happiness, Mark Williamson. Mark is the co-founder of Director of Action for Happiness, a movement of people taking action to create a happier and kinder world. With an active community of over a million supporters in 180 countries, chances are you&aposve seen a piece of content from Action for Happiness on your Instagram feed in the past. 

Mark is passionate about creating a more balanced and caring society that focuses more on helping both people and communities thrive. In that sense, Mark and I share the same goal in bringing awareness of how to be happier to the masses. And like myself, Mark came from a background of both business and engineering before ending up on a path of seeking and spreading happiness full time. This has forged a friendship that has seen us meet at happiness gatherings all over the world.

If you have any doubt that Mark has ended up on his proper path in life, spend a minute listening to him. He radiates joy, a fruit of pursuing his purpose and helping others. That alone backs up the wisdom in his words.
