Positive Well-Being Educator

For over 30 years, I’ve been an American educator and have been helping to develop the human potential that lies within each individual. Whether it was the Native Americans on the reservations in New Mexico or Italian street children in Rome, I always provided the crucial psychological tools to work out individual strengths, individual consciousness and self-compassion. Twenty four years ago, I brought my knowledge and experience to Europe. In university lectures, seminars and trainings, I “teach” doctoral students, business men and women, employees of international companies and private individuals and groups throughout Europe. 

As a happiness researcher at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, I work within the relatively new science of happiness, also known as “Positive Psychology”. Positive psychology deals with human emotions, strengths, relationships, the meaning of life and our achievements. Through mindfulness and self-compassion, we increase our well-being and happiness – eventually building a positive relationship with first, ourselves and then with those around us. My current passion is to give people “tools” in one-on-ones, seminar, workshops, retreats and universities around Europe – eventually helping them build their own self-compassion and resilience during these very interesting times.

My Book

A Book That Teaches Resilience & Acceptance

I bring in the latest and most up-to-date scientific studies to explain how important and priceless my childhood actually was. I describe 20 indispensable and extremely useful lessons that have helped me become a more respectful son to my mom, a more positive role model to my daughter and a more dedicated and loyal partner to my significant other … and let’s not forget, a more supportive friend to those in my life.
