Philosophy
As an author, he writes non-fiction books on psychology, spirituality and philosophy as well as novels. His non-fiction books are written between the poles of subject philosophy and developmental psychology. The internationally recognised developmental psychologist Susanne Cook-Greuter called his book "The Will" a "new orientation map to self-knowledge". The philosopher and publicist Dr. Thomas Steininger wrote about the same book: "The book sets an example. [...] It shows how an exciting book about the 'evolutionary will', the will to evolve, emerges from intellectual acuity and spiritual depth".
