About the Author
Brendan Dunne has lived a life defined by curiosity and transformation.
His early fascination with human behavior laid the foundation for a deep, lifelong interest in psychology and personal growth. Leaving school at seventeen, he spent a year working on London building sites before returning to Ireland to begin a twenty-year career in a factory. Starting on a forklift and advancing through machine operation, dispatch, and finally into the sales office, he gained a profound understanding of perseverance and the quiet dignity of work.
A pivotal moment came in 2009 when his position was made redundant. This was not his first unexpected turn; years earlier, a fortune teller’s prediction that he would “travel to learn” inspired him to enroll in his thirties in the Marketing Institute of Ireland’s graduate program, which he completed in 2006, drawn by the connection between marketing and behavioral psychology.
Following his redundancy, Brendan channelled his curiosity into the emerging digital landscape, launching brendandunne.wordpress.com. What began as a digital services platform quickly evolved into a home for his reflective writing. For over fourteen years, his blog has encouraged readers to challenge conventional wisdom and explore what they are capable of doing, rather than simply what they want to do.
Brendan joined Infosys a decade ago, transitioning from sales into IT technical support, where his analytical mind found a natural outlet. Alongside his professional work, he has continued to write, compiling his essays and stories into a growing body of published work.
To date, he has published thirteen titles on Amazon, including his latest collection, Where the Lightness Lives—a volume that captures the unique blend of humour, humanity, and hard-earned wisdom that defines his voice.
He hasn’t made his fortune yet, but as he’ll tell you with a smile, he’s still hoping.
