After Jonas gave a speech to member of Swedish Parliament about the deteriorating psychological health of Swedish children, he changed his career from being a leadership trainer and coach to being a social critic of Sweden’s daycare system. He has found that attachment psychology, educational psychology and neuroscience are proving that children and adolescents need their parents more than most parents are aware and that their needs are not being met. Jonas has 30 years experience in training and coaching for Swedish businesses that led to his co-publishing the international newsletter “Strategies to Learn & Grow”. Jonas says he wife, Tamara, and their three children have enriched his life experiences enormously. Because he is self-employed, he has enabled a family-oriented lifestyle which is otherwise difficult to manifest in Sweden today. His new book, Following your Heart, can be found in a condensed English version. For more, go to
