Erik Batoog is a man who has been through a lot in life. But despite it all, he tries to keep a childlike mind, ready to creatively deal with current challenges and those on the horizon. He spent far more than enough years in school to write this book. Studying a variety of subjects including literature, theology, language, history, economics, psychology and philosophy, Erik enjoyed much of his time in academics. Some of his favorite pastimes have included throwing a piece of cork wrapped in cowhide as fast as possible past people holding sticks, making dents in large leather containers of sand, expressing himself artistically, enjoying others expressing themselves artistically and searching for a Grail ready to be filled with clean water.
