"Finally! The Truth!" During the past two months, I have been speaking about and debating my book at about 15 occasions. Every time, several people say enthusiastically: "Finally! The truth! Someone who speaks clearly and openly about reality. Someone who is no tactic and doesn?t try to hide the future!" This Thursday, I spoke in Gothenburg for about 50 business leaders, politicians, civil servants and journalists. A 73-year old gentleman rose to ask the first question and said that it was the best he had ever heard, adding that we all have to go out and continue saying the truth. Politicians should be forced to speak up about the future. I fully agree and get very happy when this is the result of my book. People seem to feel - no matter where they live or what they do - that the system is falling apart. That we have to do something, but they don?t know exactly what. They seek a clear sense of direction and an honest analysis. If I can provide that, I couldn?t be more content with the result of my book.
