My name is Max Bentinck. After earning Master’s degrees in law and political science, I have worked as a public policy consultant for the past 10 years, for organizations in both the public and private sector, on topics related to science and innovation.

​

Having been born with cerebral palsy, which left me unable to walk, I have had the opportunity to observe people – their behavior, their differences and similarities - from a unique perspective. As a result, I became more and more interested in the psychology of human behavior, what drives us, and how this relates to broader societal issues. Spending many years figuring out what influences my own actions, I have found that one of the biggest challenges for me personally, and I believe for a lot of people, is bridging the gap between the person we would like to be and the person we believe others or society expects us to be.

​

I uncover, through my research and writing, why we do what we do: how emotions, beliefs, ethics and societal values influence our behavior and how individuals and organizations can apply this knowledge in practical ways to become the person/organization they have always aspired to be. My biggest hope would be that this project could in some way contribute to a world where everyone can be true to who they really are and live life on their own terms. I’m delighted to share this journey with you!

Thank you for your visit!
