Martin Janello was born and grew up in southwestern Germany. He studied law and philosophy there at the University of Heidelberg and holds a doctoral degree in law from the University of Arizona, U.S.A. He has practiced transactional business law for many years and is exploring subjects at the intersection of natural and human law and philosophy.
Martin spent over six years writing a seminal book on happiness, titled "Philosophy of Happiness." This book was recently published in paperback and electronic editions. You can obtain more information about it (including extensive excerpts) at

Based on his experiences in writing, editing, designing, publicizing, and selling the book, Martin has established a publishing enterprise. This enterprise, Palioxis Publishing, seeks to advance independent philosophical publishing. You can read about it at
