Tachtig: Elke kilometer telt. Later begint nu - Paperback

Van Mol, Bart: - "I've learned that the future we get is shaped by the choices we make long before we arrive there.That belief has guided a diverse path: studying mathematics, teaching, research in theoretical physics, becoming a professional pilot at 35, and building a career in IT that led to my role as CIO.In 2021 I started Cycling Adventure 15 - a multi-year journey to cycle around the world in stages. What began as a personal challenge evolved into a deeper exploration of resilience, health, and the long-term impact of everyday habits.Those experiences led to TACHTIG - Elke kilometer telt. Later begint nu, created together with Dr. Thiago Guimarães Osorio.The book is rooted in real-world experiences from deserts, mountains and remote regions, combined with practical principles from Lifestyle Medicine that invite readers to think intentionally about the future they are building.The book is available in Dutch (TACHTIG) and in English as EIGHTY - Every kilometre counts. Later starts now. At its core lies one central question: What do you want to still be able to do when you are eighty?My goal is to help people reflect on the life they are building - professionally and personally - and to make choices today that support long-term vitality, performance and meaning. If healthy aging, sustainable performance or meaningful change resonates with you, I'd be glad to connect."Guimaraes Osorio, Thiago: - I am a Brazilian-trained cardiologist with a subspecialty in electrophysiology, certified in Lifestyle Medicine, and a PhD candidate in medical sciences with over 15 years of experience in the healthcare field.
