He balances an active lifestyle of yoga and dance with his daily meditation regime. He enjoys reading philosophy, metaphysics and quantum physics dabbling between ways to integrate more interconnected, systems and circular thinking into the work he does. Than a “fight against climate change” he prefers to call his work in sustainability as simply reducing the relative speed of entropy gain from human action. With preference for immersive travel to more off-beat locations he now also increasingly spends time at Auroville and similar spiritual communities around the world.
