John’s curiosity and questioning attitude to life, prompted him to undertake a wider examination of his view of the world and ponderings about its state. This led him to expand his knowledge in the disciplines within science, technology, humanities and the arts. His passion to understand how our complex world functions as a whole has led him to strive to gain a greater appreciation for our past and how various cultures live and function with the challenges that we face. This resulted in him having to look deeply into the mirror. His conclusions have resulted in the writing of his books.Through undertaking this journey to make sense of our challenges he has become richer in spirit and thankful for the help he has received along the way. He is hopeful that his books will help others as they undertake their personal journey as they come to terms with the complexity of the world and in realizing the role they play in its functioning.John holds a BSc and MSc in Geology and Geochemistry.
