In 2012, I attended a conference at the Free University of Brussels presided by Peter Fiske.
CEO of PAX Water Technologies but also a well-renowned lecturer helping PhDs students across the world realizing their advanced professional skills the industry is looking for. This meeting changed everything. I knew what path I was choosing after thesis.

Even though, I decided to step out the academin path, I didin't knew back then what the industry could offer me as new challenge. Completely lost during the few months after my thesis, 2 books gave me a real purpose and strong motivation.
The first one, "The Icarus Deception" , Seth Godin challenges readers to take action, to realize their goals, to reach their potential for a better reward.

The second book I recently finished in less than 2 days is wrote by Isaiah Hankel, PhD and titled "Black Holes Focus". The end point of this book is to help PhDs finding their own values, professional goals and to define a clear strategy to reach those.
