This is an excellent read and a fascinating story of one individual rising above his adversity in life to reach the top in every field that he chose to enter. There is an old argument over which is more important in life, nature or nurture. Wim's life is a perfect example of nature being the dominant factor in one's development because nurturing was sorely lacking in his early development and in his family life. I am proud to call this man a Brother and I heartily recommend his book.
