01. An experience that changes the way we see the world

“In 2009 I was in a hospital bed, heavily sedated. I was being treated for neck and head cancer, and the situation seemed so desperate that my family was preparing to say goodbye to me for the last time.

Everyone has a special place in his mind, from which comes all that is good. If you can find this place, you can use it as a spark to change your life. It's about challenging what has become normal.”
