Dirk Gouder

Consultant

It was during my time at university that I started to be amazed ... firstly, about discovering that I was interested in economic issues, something that had not been obvious up to that point, and secondly my fascination with exploring living systems and the inexplicability of their complex nature. Exploration and wonder has become my vocation.

Three questions for Dirk Gouder

In my previous life, I was ...
A sailor on an English frigate during the Napoleonic wars. That would be the plausible explanation for many things in my life now.

What drives me
Learning, new things, different things

How I start the day
Yoga and meditation
