Well Lived

How the Sum of One Man’s Experiences Led to a Life Well Lived


How does one create a happy and fulfilled life? For Marty

Holleran, who had an ordinary upbringing in Scranton,

Pennsylvania in the 1940s, he had great things planned for

his future. Faced with a lifetime of personal trials and tribulations,

successes, heartbreaks, and struggles, Marty rose above the hardships

to achieve his desired life. Well Lived is filled with valuable lessons

from his eclectic business career alongside heartfelt recollections

of his family and the life-changing lessons he’s learned along the

way. Well Lived will help readers to reflect on how their moral

compasses, their unconditional love for their families, and their

relentless dedication can get them through amazing obstacles.


"A life well lived, indeed. And a book well written. There are powerful,

vivid stories here, and compelling and enduring lessons about life that

Marty shared. Marty’s life was truly remarkable and the highlight reel

is long and rich. The number of people he has impacted seems too many

to count. I do hope this book finds a large audience. These are important

lessons, particularly in these challenging times."
