After years (a lifetime!) of being told to be less selfish and to put other people first it was a relief to encounter someone who had other ideas - so when Olga Levancuka came to the office with some copies of [[How to be Be Selfish (and other uncomfortable adviceOther Uncomfortable Advice) by Olga Levancuka|her book]] we couldn't wait to ask her a few questions.
* '''Bookbag: When you close your eyes and imagine your readers, who do you see?'''
Has it changed me? Yes. But surprisingly (for me first of all) my life experience has taught me to understand other people better. To see their point of view and to feel their pain. To see the depths of their true personality and to share their happiness. It's made me truly empathetic.
* '''BB: Are you a very sociable person? What do you do for fun?'''
Highly overrated in my opinion. Very out of date in a sense - most of the material is the old basics that I was taught in my Psychology degree. However, given that we as a society and as human beings progress and evolve very fast nowadays, it is impressive that he managed to put all this information together. I have A LOT to learn from David.
3. 'The Butterfly Fields: A Journey of Spiritual Healing and Enlightenment' by Carole Vickie Pilcher. I am re-reading it as the poems are so penetrating and emotional, it is difficult to describe in words. Very down to earth yet beautiful and charming.
* '''BB: If your life had to take an entirely different direction what would you want to do?'''
And a child ;)
* '''BB: Thanks for talking to us, Olga. That was fascinating.'''
