welcome to my personal library

Books have greatly influenced the way I live, work and think.

From different periods of my life, I’ve selected a few books that were important to me at that time and still are. I hope you’ll find inspiration here around enrivonmentalism, food systems, human ecology, personal development, philosophy and business.
