I am a researcher in psychology, and I work for Foods R&D in an international company in the Netherlands. Working in applied research has forced me to get out of the academic mindset and to build strong connections between theories and everyday life. Colleagues told me that I am good at explaining the science of psychology... and the idea soon came naturally that I could share many ideas by writing and self-publishing. My first self-published book was published here, on Lulu. It's about living abroad, from developing resilience to understanding the roots of behavior differences. My second book retraces my fight against cancer, of course it's about the psychological aspects: what I had learned about resilience, mindfulness, cognition, social bonds, became very relevant to this new challenge in my life. (It's published in French, my native language). I am dreaming about the next one, less personal, where resilience and cognition will get the center stage. Stay tuned!
