Brian Norton

I was born and raised in Ely, Nevada and currently live in Idaho with my wife, kids, grand-kids and assorted animals. I love the outdoors, especially going hiking, fishing and 4-wheeling!

I have been on a long path to learning what happiness means and how I can share that knowledge with others. I currently offer consulting in business/life coaching focusing on how to stay present and happy right now, and am developing webinars to share with clients I cannot personally teach.

There is a lot of education in my background, including two undergraduate degrees, a M.A. in constitutional law, an M.B.A., and all but dissertation in an Ed.D. degree. Funny thing is, the college courses weren't as valuable as self-study and the life lessons taught by my kids, wife, and dealing with being almost deaf from birth.

About the "almost deaf" part... It means I cannot hear well enough to function in normal society but not completely deaf, so am not a part of the ASL community. Talk about a lifetime course in learning patience and acceptance:-)

I have learned from the study of Stoicism, Buddhism, and various Eastern philosophies such as the Tao and Feng Shui that we control our lives and our happiness. The current literature on Positive Psychology and mindfulness also informs much of my approach to developing practical ways to improve our emotional and mental health. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions, concerns or suggestions, I love to hear from my friends.

Thank you for reading, I look forward to walking together on the path of positive personal transformation!

Namaste.
