Product Information

No More Mr. Nice Guy is hands down THE best book I have ever read! NMMNG explained every bad belief and bad habit I didn't even know I had! I thank God everyday I found this book." the most True Crime legends ever caught on film, including Roy Shaw, Cass Pennant, Howard Marks, Jason Marriner, Carlton Leach, Dave Courtney and many more". killerbitch.co.uk . Retrieved 26 February 2012. It's a shame this book didn't get more attention but anyone who is tagged by the established system in our world, we are imposed not to care about. The Frenchprint translation is entitled, “ Trop Gentil Pour Être Heureux: Le Syndrome du Chic Type.” But deep down, Howard Marks just comes across a generally nice guy, a guy who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to try and do it. I wouldn’t recommend following him in his chosen career path, but if you bump into him at a pub then be sure to buy him a pint.

This is the best autobiography I have read since _Story of My Life_ by Casanova. Marks reports his observations from his international travels on just the things that interest me. The contradictions he brings up are very funny and often thought provoking. At first I found his tendency for name dropping annoying, then I realized he was a Leo so it was unavoidable. The plus side of Leo is that the delivery of the vernacular in the conversations is phenomenal. Amazingly, for an autobiography, there are no repeats and no tiresome me-me-me focus. Somehow Marks manages to tell his tale without sounding self-centered or apologetic. Sure he made lots of money, mainly because many people value what they want viz. recreational drugs, music, and sports, more than what they need. So drug dealers, top musicians, and top sports stars make way more money than teachers, emergency responders, and public transportation drivers. Over time I came to see, that like me, the road map of these passively pleasing men unconsciously influenced every area of their lives. I came to realize that I wasn’t the only man thinking that if I was just nice, people would like me, they would meet my needs without me having to ask, and I would have a smooth, problem-free life. This is a tale of two books for me. The first half (and it's long, so it's quite the half) was very interesting, learning about how this guy set up his empire, all the wheeling and dealing, etc etc. I also enjoyed how he and I ended up at many of the same places (Palma, Patapong, etc), which might say a lot about me, hahaha. So, that was all well and good. Following his release from prison, Marks published an autobiography, Mr Nice (1996), which has been translated into several languages. [97] [98] He also compiled an anthology called The Howard Marks Book of Dope Stories (2001) [99] and more recently a follow-on from his autobiography: Señor Nice: Straight Life From Wales to South America. [100] Señor Nice differs from his previous book as drugs are not central to the story and, while autobiographical, the book is more Marks's own exploration of his claimed ancestor, the pirate Sir Henry Morgan. [101] In 2011, he penned the thriller Sympathy for the Devil.An experienced facilitator, community builder and Peer Support Specialist, Sean has been running men's groups for 10+ years.Read Sean's Full Author Bio. No More Mr. Nice Guy The book goes into much more detail than he had in the live show, explaining about how he lived, the people he met and how they were involved, the places he went to, where he was a wanted man, the countries where he was not allowed, all of his "other known names" and so on.

Marks was a campaigner for the legalisation of cannabis and tours the world with a one-man show. Marks recorded the song 'Grow More Weed' with the UK dub punk band P.A.I.N.

Howard always believed that Judy was arrested only to put pressure on him to plead guilty so the children would at least be reunited with their mother. One of the items in the book is the telegram Judy sent to Howard in 1989 as she set off for the US, where she would plead guilty on a minor charge of conspiracy and be allowed to return to her family: “Am flying Friday. Pray for me. I hope see you soon. Love you. Judy”. (Judy has since written her own account, Mr Nice & Mrs Marks, published in 2007.) Many years ago I was a volunteer with St John Ambulance (sja) and we would provide first aid cover at many events including the local theater. One evening I received a call asking if I was free and could get to the local theater asap as no-one had turned up. I rang a friend who was also in sja and asked her to get ready and come as well. We had no idea what the show was we were about to see. On the other hand, if you’re searching for information about No More Mr. Nice Guy Reddit, then follow mensgroup.com now.
