Despite the Covid-situation I am quite busy, keeping athletes motivated and training well, coaching, writing more, maybe another book rather soon, and of course, reading and studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who know me, also know that I am an obsessive-compulsive book reader. I try to absorb as much information as I can, in order to improve my knowledge continuously and learn from the knowledge, experience, and wisdom of many others. Now the last couple of weeks people asked me if I ever read anything else, besides the books about biomedical and sports related-topics. And what kind of books I like to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not too keen in so-called self-help books and I am in good company. My favorite comedian, George Carlin, explains why. He is not very well-known outside of the US but his shows, still his shows on YouTube are well worth watching, sharp, funny and very smart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I read novels and many other books as well. A few still on my desk after (re-)reading them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
