Mark Victor Hansen was born to Danish immigrants, Una and Paul Hansen. He grew up in Waukegan, Illinois. He graduated from Southern Illinois University in 1970 with a B.A. in speech communications.

Along with business partner, Jack Canfield , Hansen is best known for creating what Time magazine called “the publishing phenomenon of the decade”. Chicken Soup for the Soul books are one of the most successful publishing franchises in the world today, with more than 500 million books sold internationally and more than 100 licensed products. The name “Chicken Soup” was chosen because of the use of chicken soup as a home remedy for the sick.

In 2005 he co-wrote, along with Robert Allen, the book "Cracking the Millionaire Code" in which he highlights several self-made millionaires such as Bob Circosta, Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Alexander Graham Bell, Oprah Winfrey, and others, using them as examples of how to build wealth.

Reviews

[Chris · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a treasure worth reading over and over again. It teaches us how to overcome worry, fear, frustration, and grief, and it contains many stories and quotes that comfort and inspire. I love the quotation my Anne Frank, "Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. the good new is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential it!"
