MY WRITING

In my writing I explore many facets of human transformation, from personal to professional, organizational to societal. I published my first book This Is It in 2019 and just came out with Technology is Dead - A Path to a More Human Future. Both are available on Amazon. Every now and then I write blog posts about the world, technology, innovation and humanity. The point of every word I have written and will write is to motivate people to embrace the idea that anything can be made better if we put more human understanding at the front of the task. It applies to countries, corporations, communities, families, and yes, to you and me.
