The concept of the bookbag comes from the short story of the same title by W. Somerset Maugham, my most frequently read author in early teenage years and, I suspect, the origin of an ever growing desire to visit the exotic parts of Asia he described. Probably why I have now spent over half of my working life here since first succumbing to the urge to explore the planet in 1979.

I read anything and everything, usually several books at once.

So for those of you who like to “sharpen your saw”; I will keep sharing the things that are currently influencing me as they go in and out of my BookBag which accompanies me as my coaching work takes me around the world.
