As promised, I would like to talk more about the Achuars, an Amazonian tribe in Ecuador, which I met on a trip I took with my family this summer. We travelled in a nine-seater airplane about an hour into the Rainforest until we landed in a hand carved airstrip. Ten families lived in that specific [...]
After my TEDxDubai talk last year, Johan and I had the privilege to speak at TEDxSantaCruz in June. I must admit it was an incredible experience. It was about Trust. Please feel free to share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter, but mostly ENJOY it. Here is the video. Gonan and Johan Premfors [...]
Some of you may have noticed already that I have been quiet with my blog posts for a while. There are couple of reasons for that: First, I have been on a journey to the Amazon in Ecuador, visiting a tribe called the Achuars with an Organization called Pachamama Alliance. The experience was so deep that I [...]
If you knew you were dying in the next 10 minutes what would be the one thing you would wish you could change? This is what happened to Ric Elias on flight US Airways Flight 1549 in 2009. Elias didn’t die as the captain of the plane managed to land the plane in the Hudson [...]

How much of your time with your children is spent worrying about other obligations? When we are getting our children ready for school in the morning, but also fretting about work, or imagining how a meeting will proceed, or planning the next event, we are not being present with our children.

For some it includes cousins, aunts, uncles, second cousins and great grandmothers. For others it is a tight nuclear group of 3-4 people. What is family for [...]
