I love reading and I love writing. As a child I could read for hours and verbal expression has always  fascinated me. At university I was secretary of a student board and wrote all kinds of things in the newsletters.
To me, writing is a way to discover what I know and what I think about a subject. And when other people read it and discuss it with me, I discover more and it helps them to do their own discoveries.

Writing a website on Xi and XIPs was one of the ways to develop my own knowledge on the subject. It made it more easy to start writing a book, or articles. My first Dutch book was published in 2007. That same year my first English article was published in ‘Advanced Development, a Journal on Adult Giftedness’.

This menu-item offers information on my publications in the English language only.
For more information on my Dutch publications, please look up my Dutch website.
