Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I come from Poland, a country where people from ages struggle and fight for freedom. The pursuit for liberty is deeply in our blood. Presently, freedom means more: not only being an independent nation but also happiness, wealth and health. Especially among young people there exists “American Dream”, however, they often forget about other important aspects of life like family, relations and health in general. So was my case…
Today I can say that I’m a happy guy profiting from living a calm and happy family life, growing kids. I love spending time with my family, pets and enjoying small things.
I am able to find a healthy balance between my private and professional life. I have been working for multinational as a marketing manager in the retail industry.
As a 43-year old man, I have experience not only in business but in self-help and personal transformation area as well — life balance.
So I become an author 🙂
So far, I have written two books:
“7 effective skills to boost your life energy: Guide to relieve stress, clear your mind, and recharge.” And “Your First 5K Run: A complete beginner’s guide from the couch to the first 5K run.”
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Your First 5K Run: A complete beginner’s guide from the couch to the first 5K run”.
About 5 years ago, I was feeling really bad. I was totally overwhelmed in my professional life and almost ruined my family relations. So I knew I had to change many things starting from myself, so I began to run. Running gave me the confidence to change my life. The book is based on my story and is addressed at guys like me, but not only 😉 who want to change.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I prefer writing early during my morning routine. I got inspired by Hal Elrod and his “The miracle morning”. It really works…
