Welcome
This is the place where I share my thoughts on current topics that interest me. Most of the blogs are related to the themes of my books; the dynamics of enthusiasm and its counterpart negativity. Where possible I refer to a specific chapter in my books, so that the blogs and books can complement and enrich each other.
Just like in my books, I use insights from psychology and neurology to explain the world around me and to suggest possible solutions. By sharing these insights I hope to clear the way for more positivity, reflection and tolerance. It is my belief that these elements contribute to a better and more beautiful world.
